End Gun Violence Michigan

The goal of End Gun Violence Michigan is to consider and decide whether a gun safety ballot initiative is possible in 2024.

[Senator Rosemary Bayer @rosemarybayer]

Thank you, @StorkBrian! We had a fantastic panel lineup for this important discussion on gun violence prevention, and we thank @egvmichigan, the UofM Firearm Injury Prevention Institute, the @JHU_CGVS, the @JoyceFdn, and others for co-sponsoring and facilitating this event.

Last year, Michigan passed a significant number of gun safety laws. Now, the hard work of implementing them begins.

We're joining @EGVMichigan’s Gun Violence Prevention Summit today and tomorrow to discuss the important work ahead. #mileg

🧡 Silence the Violence memorial in Ann Arbor yesterday. I was able to briefly attend with my daughter, and read names of local community members lost to gun violence 🙇🏻‍♀️🕯 @egvmichigan #NotOneMore #SilenceTheViolence

[No Future Without Today @nfw2day]

Yesterday we marched for Justin, Hana, Tate, and Madisyn. We marched for all those taken by gun violence and came together to reaffirm our commitment to honoring with action.

Thank you to everyone who supported and joined us yesterday in our 2nd annual March with Oxford.

We are reminded today of the importance of committing ourselves to creating communities of care, respect, and safety. We are heartbroken as more lives have been taken due to gun violence and we stand with Tennessee as we long for a world where this is not our daily reality.

Advocate, gun owner, gun violence survivor, and Michigan President of @GiffordsCourage Gun Owners for Safety, Jon Gold, couldn't have said it any better. "People of Michigan want action." Let's Get This Done! #HonorWithActionRally #WeCanEndGunViolence

[Rep. Debbie Dingell @RepDebDingell]

Spent a quiet evening with girlfriends @GovWhitmer and @GabbyGiffords before we join advocates at the State Capitol today to call for strong action on gun violence.

We will not stop working until our communities are safe.

[End Gun Violence Michigan @egvmichigan]

We are with you @RepDebDingell - Let's Get This Done! #HonorWithActionRally #WeCanEndGunViolence

[Governor Gretchen Whitmer @GovWhitmer]

We are here today to honor those we have lost with action.

We are done only offering thoughts and prayers—because while those are important—they are not enough. Complacency on this issue is unacceptable. We must work together to reduce violence and save lives.

[Joe Tate @JoeTate313]

To the millions of Michiganders demanding the passage commonsense gun policies: we hear you and we will get it done! #HonorWithAction

Powerful words from the Co Vice President of @nfw2day Madeline Johnson. She reminded legislators that the young people in the crowd "are there current and future voters. You sure as hell will lose your spot in office if you keep showing us that our lives mean nothing to you."
