Gun Violence Prevention

Gun Violence Prevention Task Force: 

Contact: admin@uufaithaction.org

After the 2012 mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut we believed that tragedy would mobilize public sentiment to propel our federal and state legislators to address our nation’s woeful record on gun violence.  The latest estimates of private US gun ownership is 1011 (both licit and illicit).

On a personal level, whether you are new to our gun violence prevention efforts or already active, we welcome your participation in this life affirming work. We need people in each UU congregation to help. You can contribute by coordinating presentations, staffing letter writing tables, and spreading the word to our members.

At the annual plenary each Spring an annual report lays out the focus for each area in the coming year.
