Volunteers Needed: The Gun Safety Interest Group is continuing to seek members who are interested in working in this area.  We are looking for people to help the team and the League stay informed of important events and information regarding gun safety, acting as another set of eyes and ears for the group. If you are interested, please contact Sue Brandy at sue.b [at] lwvdv.org.

This month LWVDV partnered with Diablo Moms Demand Action to support adoption of a Gun Safety Ordinance to require gun safes and locks for the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County.  LWVDV President Anne Granlund signed a letter of support that was sent from the League to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors in advance of their meeting on Tuesday, September 19.  The Board also sent an all-member Action Alert encouraging members to contact their supervisors asking them to support this ordinance. 

Moms Demand Action will be an important partner in our work to promote Gun Safety.  I am also working to connect with the Rossmoor Gun Safety Club and the Contra Costa County Violence Prevention Coalition.
