Divest from the Gun Industry

We were all affected that morning, as we woke up to the news of the tragic shooting at that Sandy Hook elementary school. All parents, brothers and sisters can sympathize with the horrible pain that those parents must still feel. Yet, even in the wake of that tragedy, more gun laws have been passed loosening the restrictions on the sale or manufacture of guns than have been passed to strengthen these protections! The reason for this? The powerful gun lobby and the money they use to influence elections and lawmaking. After the shootings at Sandy Hook, many hedge funds, private equity firms, as well as city & state pension funds divested tens of millions of dollars from the gun industry. A year later, there are still funds and firms profiting from murder. If they divest, it'll weaken the gun industry's political power and clear the way for commonsense gun violence prevention laws. Please sign and lend your voice to the call for state pension funds to stop profiting from the gun industry!
