Divest from the Gun Industry

Divest our state's pension fund from companies that profit from the sale or manufacture of guns.

Why is this important?

As a high school teacher, a mother, a relative of Columbine High School survivors, and a gun owner, I am appalled by the lack of concern politicians have had in creating real solutions to gun control. Our community's safety can only be secured when common sense is used when discussing gun control issues.

But while the gun industry's political power is still strong, there is a way to help. Right now there are many city and state pension funds that are supported with dollars from the gun industry. Demand that such pension funds divest from the gun industry as a means to weaken the political power held by the gun industry and to clear the way for common sense gun violence prevention laws.
