Upcoming events: National Gun Violence Awareness Day

Jun 03, 2022

Thank you for taking an early step in our coordinated efforts to protect our schools and our children.  The MEA gun safety petition has already gathered hundreds of signatures and the feedback you have provided is helpful.  We wanted to make you aware of some upcoming events hosted by Everytown for Gun Safety and March For Our Lives. 

 

First, please join us at March For Our Lives in Lansing on Saturday, June 11.  MEA is supporting this event and hope to see many members there.  Please RSVP HERE.

 

There are dozens of Wear Orange and March For Our Lives events happening across Michigan over the next two weeks.  If you can’t join us in Lansing, please consider attending a local event in your area.

You can find details and updates at www.WearOrange.org or at the March For Our Lives site at https://marchforourlives.com/march22/.
