Hello and Welcome to our February Newsletter:
The Campaign is embarking on its 16th year in support of safe educational spaces nationwide. We remain grateful to all of you – old and new – for your steadfast support.
In this month’s issue you can read and take action on federal safe gun storage and assault
weapons ban legislation. If you live in Arizona, Iowa, or Kentucky, please take action opposing guns on campus.
You can also read about the latest Executive Actions from the White House on federal safe gun storage and listen to a brief podcast where I appeared with the good folks at Armed with Reason, where we discussed how The Campaign started and where we are headed.
In staff news, we are so pleased to announce that two new interns have joined The Campaign: Brady Roland and Lexi Harman. Please take a moment to read about Brady and Lexi below.
Next week – February 14th – please look for our remembrance posts honoring those lives lost at Northern Illinois University and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Breaking news in Michigan as we put this newsletter to bed. The mother of the Oxford High School shooter has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter. The decision certainly signals that parents, guardians, etc., could be held responsible in cases where a young person obtains a firearm and it was foreseeable that harm would result.
Finally, this work does not happen without you. Please consider becoming a donor to The
Campaign.
Thanks for all you do.
Andy Pelosi, Executive Director/Co-Founder
