Action 2: Global Climate Strike - Chicago on Friday, September 15 at 4 p.m. at Pritzker Park
Action 1: Tell Durbin to Ban Assault Weapons
Senator Durbin has the votes to pass S25 (Assault Weapons Ban of 2023) in the Senate Judiciary Committee. This bill makes it a crime to knowingly import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon (SAW) or large capacity ammunition feeding device (LCAFD). We understand he now has a majority on the committee to pass this.
Call today at 202.224.2152 to tell him to schedule a markup. Tell him that the Senate Democratic Majority on the committee has an opportunity to send us a strong message that they are serious about protecting kids over AR15s. We need this to fight for a stronger gun safety majority in 2024. Democrats MUST use their majority status to make progress on gun violence.
Action 2: Sept 15 Global Climate Strike
