Speak Out On Common-Sense Gun Laws

Everyone deserves to live in a community free of gun violence. We raise our voices as women survivors, caregivers, and advocates who believe that NOT EVERYONE should be allowed to own a gun.

We advocate for grassroots action in support of common-sense gun regulations to counter the influence of the gun lobby. We support the following specific legal requirements:

• Require background checks and waiting periods for all gun sales.
• Pass red flag laws and prevent domestic abusers from accessing guns.
• Institute a ban on all assault weapons.
• Limit the amount of ammunition that a licensed gun owner can purchase.
• Institute a ban on the sale of tools, such as bump stocks, that turn semi-automatic weapons into completely automatic weapons and limit magazine capacity.
• Eliminate straw purchases of guns and ownership transfers without background checks.                                
• Require concealed-carry permits and restrict open-carry of firearms.
• Ban firearms in libraries, schools, hospitals, and places of worship.
• Allow survivors of gun violence to demand legal accountability of gun manufacturers, sellers, and interest groups whose negligence and disregard for public safety contribute to the uniquely American plague of gun violence.

Our Call-to-Action:

Please call your representatives and senators and leave this message:

1. Hi, my name is _______________, and I am a constituent and advocate. I’m calling today because there is a law that has shielded the gun industry and denied gun violence survivors their constitutional right to justice for over 15 years. No industry should be above the law, so I’m calling to urge him/her to co-sponsor Representative Adam Schiff’s bill to allow gun violence survivors their day in court. The bill is H.R. 4184 and S. 2048. Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act of 2023. Can you please flag the bill for the congressman/woman and your staffer who handles gun violence prevention?
2. Call 202-224-3121 and urge your senator to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA).
