Raising Green & Wearing Orange for GVP

Raising Green & Wearing Orange for GVP

Goal thermometer

I'm man enough to be a Mom.

Among my other work toward gun violence prevention, I am a volunteer for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.

Moms Demand is a grassroots group, founded the day after the Sandy Hook School shooting, that is fighting for common sense gun laws; the types of laws on which a vast majority of Americans agree:

  • Background checks on all gun sales. 
  • Preventing domestic abusers from getting guns. 
  • Closing dangerous loopholes such as the one that allowed a white supremacist to kill 9 people in their Charleston church, and that make it easy for criminals to buy dozens of guns legally in Georgia, and re-sell them illegally in New York (via the so-called "iron pipeline).

This year, in honor of our Wear Orange campaign, we're not just raising awareness about gun violence prevention in the United States. We're also raising money to help solve that problem.

A percentage of the money I raise for Moms Demand Action nationally will be allocated to our New York state chapter and our Central New York group. More money means more visbility, as Moms Demand is able to do the sorts of things that grow our membership. A grassroots organization is nothing without its people. In Moms Demands' case, people willing to stand up and fight for common sense solutions to what has become a public health crisis.

More than 90 people a day, 8 of them children, die as a result of gun violence in the United States. 200 people are injured each day by gun violence, some irreparably.

Please make a contribution to this essential cause.  

Do it with intent and purpose.

Do it for my kids and yours. Do it for my brothers and sisters, and friends, and yours. Do it for the people you'll never meet, and for the people you never can.

Do it.

Thank you.
