AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

Dear Coalition Member Liaisons,

We need your help to ensure we secure State Senate co-sponsors on SD1726: "An Act Relative to Crime Gun Data Reporting and Analysis".

The Coalition is so proud to have over 70 member organizations, all with a wide reach of their own! We're asking that you share the below email with your organization's members and friends!

Thank you so much, the Coalition could not exist without the support of its member organizations!

Dear Coalition members,

TIME TO MOBILIZE AGAIN!

Thanks to your calls and e-mails we were successful in securing numerous house co-sponsors, but now we need your help to secure MA State SENATE co-sponsors this week for a critical piece of gun safety legislation. Please call or email your state senator TODAY and ask him or her to co-sponsor MA State Senator Cindy Creem's Bill SD1726: "An Act Relative to Crime Gun Data Reporting and Analysis. I f Senator Creem is your Senator, please call and thank her for filing this important piece of legislation.

(Note: You need to call your state senator, not Markey or Warren!)

Senator Creem's Bill (also filed by Rep. Decker in the House) requires MA to analyze the crime gun data MA has been collecting since enactment of the 2014 Gun Bill, to determine the source of crime guns recovered in MA, including how many were purchased as part of a multiple handgun transaction.

This is a key anti-trafficking and anti-straw purchasing measure and a top priority for the Coalition this year.

If you don't know who your State Senator is, you can find out here:

Please call! An aide will answer the phone, ask for your name and address, and then you will ask that your senator please co-sponsor this critical bill.

This is a simple way to make a big difference!

Thank you!

MA Coalition to Prevent Gun Violence
