Social Action Corner - Gun Violence Prevention
Legislative Appeal - Prevention of Gun Violence
The tragic and heartbreaking incidence of gun violence and mass shootings has become an all too frequent and shocking event in our country. As part of our collective healing we can take action by reaching out to our representatives and voice our concerns about the mass proliferation of firearms.
Important legislation, H4038 (https://malegislature.gov/Bills/192/HD3091 ) that would ban semi-automatic weapons has been reported out of the Safety and Homeland Security Committee and will be going to the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
PLEASE write to the House Ways and Means members and the Speaker of the House in support of this legislation and CC your representative. To find your Representative you can click on this link.
Dylan Fernandez (Room 472 (617) 722-2013; Dylan.Fernandes@mahouse.gov) is the State Representative for Martha’s Vineyard (Cape and Islands).
If you prefer to contact your representative by mail, two versions of a letter for you to print out are linked HERE and here.
Thank you for taking action in support of this important legislation!
