Demand Action To Fight Gun Violence

We, the undersigned, call upon Michigan State Representative Jim Runestad to immediately call a hearing to support HB 4706-7, HB 4560, and HB 4203 to make our streets and schools safer, while also denouncing HB 4842 and HB 4838 that do nothing but make our communities more dangerous.

Why is this important?

As young people, we bear the biggest burden from gun violence, regardless of our political leanings. Bullets don’t discriminate between Democrats and Republicans when they are flying through the air in a school, a neighborhood, or a church. Oftentimes, it is our friends, brothers, and sisters who are hurt or killed when these bullets find their targets.Our generation is building a national coalition of old and young, rich and poor, across all races and ethnicities, who are fed up with the constant stream of tragedies that have occurred due to a failure of our elected officials to take action. We need these bills to be brought to the table to usher in new laws that defend our Constitutional rights, preserve our liberties, and protect the lives of our fellow citizens.
