Contacting your legislators is one of the most important actions you can take for advancing our legislative agenda. Let them know how you want them to vote and why it’s important to you. And thank legislators when they support our agenda.
Create awareness, educate and drive action for gun violence prevention by hosting an informal gathering of friends or a community group—in your home, a community center or house of worship. CAGV will present, answer questions and lead a short call-to-action activity at the end.
