ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ... LEGISLATORS MUST PASS GUN CONTROL MEASURES AND STOP THE VIOLENCE! As hearings and discussion continues today on Capitol Hill on gun reform and a potential gun violence package, we urge you to reach out NOW to our senators representing Ohio in Washington -- Senator Sherrod Brown and Senator Rob Portman. Tell them to pass gun control measures now – and tell them that this legislation should also include raising the age limit to legally purchase a gun, banning large capacity magazines, background checks and creating red flag laws. Tell them enough children have died from gun violence. In collaboration with OCAGV, the Rev. Dr. Jack Sullivan, executive director of the Ohio Council of Churches, shares the following message for our legislators: “Lawmakers, it is your sacred duty to create laws that serve and protect people of every demographic and in all ZIP codes. Our school children deserve safety in their classrooms. Citizens deserve safety in the marketplace or while enjoying an evening of entertainment. And people of faith deserve safety in their houses of worship.” Senator Brown (D) can be reached at: (202) 224-2315 or online at https://www.brown.senate.gov/contact/email Senator Portman (R) can be reached at: (202) 224-3353 or online at https://www.portman.senate.gov/meet/contact The poem below is shared with permission of its author, Harold Pollock, an Ohio attorney. | |
