From Win Without War
Students across the country are heading back to school — and that means they’re facing the threat of gun violence. On September 4, Apalachee High School was added to an ever-growing list of mass shootings in the United States. Four people were killed, and nine others hospitalized. The suspect is just 14 years old. The venues of these shootings have varied: Houses of worship, movie theaters, grocery stores, schools, nightclubs. But one thing they often have in common? The gun used to commit the violence is an assault weapon.
The gun lobby would love for us to think it’s impossible, but with champions in Congress and the White House on our side, there is a real chance we will win. There’s already legislation in Congress — the Assault Weapons Ban of 2023 (S.25/H.R.698) — waiting to be passed. One of the simplest, biggest things you can do right now to make that happen? Show up and speak out today.
Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday September 10th, 7:00 - 8:00 pm
Doing environmental and democracy work, particularly leading up to the November election, is vital and has its small rewards but it can also be physically, mentally and emotionally draining. In acknowledgment of this struggle, we’ve asked Bailey Fullwiler, an Eco Social Worker and Yoga & Meditation Guide, to lead us through some self and collective care exercises. Join us as we take some time for ourselves to reflect and recharge.
