Help create a safer Michigan for all.

Gun violence prevention bills are on the move in the Michigan legislature, and our state lawmakers need to hear from you now on this important issue. The template below will help you send a letter to your State Senator and State Representative and ensure your perspective is heard. Please consider personalizing your letter for maximum impact.

Dear lawmaker,

I am writing to urge you to support the safe storage and extreme risk protection order (ERPO) bills when they come to the floor for a vote. Both proposals are proven solutions that will help prevent gun violence in our communities and save lives. I am just one of an overwhelming majority of Michigan voters who support these policies, who span the political spectrum and include a majority of gun owners.

As you consider these bills I hope that you will listen to marginalized people and work alongside affected communities to create the most effective and equitable versions of these bills.

Beyond the specific policies mentioned, I hope you and your colleagues will continue to tackle gun violence from all possible angles, including adequately funding community violence intervention (CVI) programs, efforts to address poverty and expanded access to mental healthcare.

Thank you for your consideration. I truly believe that together, we can create safe, thriving communities across the state.
