Dear Friends, 
If it seems like you’ve been hearing from us a lot, it’s because a lot is happening. We have a big opportunity to make real strides in gun violence prevention, and we can’t let up.
THE NEWS:
Universal Background Checks has made it through the Senate and is now in the House Judiciary Committee. The Committee is hearing testimony on Wednesday 3/14 and Thursday 3/15.
WHAT THIS BILL NEEDS TO PASS:
Your presence.
If you can commit even an hour or two to attending the House Judiciary Committee meeting to show your support, that would be very powerful.
Wednesday 3/14 — Testimony will begin at 9:00 and go through the afternoon with a break from 11:45-1:00
Thursday 3/15 — Testimony is scheduled for the morning only beginning at 9:00
You don’t need to speak. Simply being there is enough. Wear a GunSense button if you have one. If you don’t, we will have some available.
When you enter the State House, a page should be able to help you locate the meeting room. Rooms are also posted on a board in the main lobby.
On behalf of the leadership of GunSense, I hope we’ll see you there.
Clai Lasher-Sommers
Executive Director
