Creating a Peaceful Society by Reducing Gun Violence

In times of increased gun violence, thoughts and prayers are no longer enough. We need policies and action.

We seek a society with equity and justice for all.

We seek a community where every person's potential may be fulfilled.

We seek an earth restored.
