It inspires great hope to see a groundswell of activism that is poised to carry us forward into a time of change. Honestly, it is breathtakin!<\/p>\n<p> The Peace Alliance has long advocated for reduction in violence. Currently, there is a list of legislation that we support that has been submitted in both the House and the Senate related to Gun Safety.\u00a0<b>There are six bills in the Senate and nine in the House.<\/b>\u00a0The impacts range from re-enacting the ban on assault weapons to requiring background checks, from imposing waiting periods to purchase certain firearms to strengthening the Nation\u2019s mental health infrastructure, from authorizing the Center for Disease Control to conduct research on firearms safety or gun violence prevention to establishing a Select Committee on Gun Violence Prevention.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b><a href=\"http:\/\/org.salsalabs.com\/o\/696\/p\/dia\/action4\/common\/public\/?action_KEY=22913\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">Take action today.
