Union families for common sense gun control
A petition by union families for common sense gun control
As members of America’s unions and union families, we call on Congress and the Administration to support common sense gun control legislation immediately.
We are teachers, first responders, nurses, builders, information and government workers, administrators, and other working people who are outraged by the recent senseless slaughters in our communities.
Though many union members are hunters and gun owners, we believe that there is no need for the general public to have access to weapons meant to kill large numbers of people in quick succession. We support sensible legislation to address the proliferation of semiautomatic rifles and handguns in our nation and to build reasonable safeguards into our gun access system. The time to act is now.

Why is this important?
As members of America's unions, we reject the NRA's claim that union members support its destructive agenda. We are teachers, nurses, first responders, builders, information workers, government workers, and others who believe that our nation should act now to end the senseless slaughter in our community.
