Ending Gun Violence in Georgia

“Not One More” conference at two congregations,

the Temple and Central Presbyterian Church, on Friday night, November 14 and Saturday, November 15.

The Rev. Jim Atwood and Josh Horwitz will attend both days. Jim and Josh have spent years working on behalf of gun sense in America and bring a passion and wisdom that you will not want to miss. From the planners, “Think of it as a time for the fueling of our collective passion to end gun violence in Georgia, so there will not be one more parent facing a future Thanksgiving with an empty chair at the table. Individually, bringing significant positive change to the prevailing gun culture in Georgia is daunting, but collectively, saner voices can and must prevail. So, please come. Please register to come. Please tell your friends, family members, neighbors, colleagues to come. You will be glad that you did. Shalom and Blessings” Register and get all the information here.

What to do

Call your U.S. Representative and urge them not to accept the Senate version of the budget reconciliation bill without amendments that:
1. Protect vulnerable populations by restoring or preserving funding for food assistance, healthcare, housing, education, and childcare.
2. Avoid placing new, unfunded administrative burdens on states and nonprofits.
3. Retain programs that are essential to local jobs, services, and economic resilience in communities across your district, including Inflation Reduction Act funding.
Reach out to local officials to speak about the economic harm involved, and ask them to speak out against provisions that harm your nonprofit as an employer and contributor to the local economy.
Mobilize your network to do the same. Every voice counts!
