Dear Beloveds,

Here is a statement on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Shooting posted on February 15, 2018. It cites two bills in the Florida legislature calling for a ban on assault weapons. This information comes from the Florida Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence of which the Florida Conference of the United Church of Christ is a part. Please follow the link for more information, offer donations to support their work, and to take further action.

Also, Momsdemandaction.org and Everytown.org offer other opportunities to offer donations and to join in actions for change.

Our hearts are with all who have been traumatized again. As our will is strengthened, may we have the continual courage to press, protest, march, and vote powerfully for change.

In love and hope,
Shelly
