Grandparents for Gun Safety Monthly Meeting

Along with casting ballots in this Year of the Vote, GGS encourages another key way of making your voice heard: advocating.

It’s easier than you may think to connect with lawmakers, share your views and ask for their support for gun safety. Whether you feel comfortable sending emails, making phone calls, writing postcards, or visiting in-person, that’s advocating!

At February’s program, you’ll hear experienced GGS advocates share tips and other tools designed to make your advocating more successful and even fun. Members Dave and Carole Webster will focus on Missouri and Advocacy Chair Carla Oppenheimer on Kansas. They’ll explain many advocacy actions applicable to both states as well as some differences.

Because both legislatures are currently considering gun-related bills, now is a critical time to sharpen your advocacy skills. This will be an interactive, tutorial session, so bring your laptop, iPad, or phone and take notes.

Join us February 26 to stand together and make our voices heard loud and clear.

Because the sun sets earlier, DID YOU KNOW? postcards to legislators will be available for signing before the meeting. Come early at 3:30 pm, enjoy a treat and support GGS’ advocacy efforts to encourage lawmakers to vote for gun safety. At the same time, pick up your free VOTE button, too.
