John,

Two bills that would put guns in NC schools are being heard in NC House committees on Tuesday, 4/29, and could pass the House in the same week.

Now’s the time when we need everyone to say OUT LOUD: KEEP GUNS OUT OF NC SCHOOLS!

Join us on Monday 4/28 from 6:30 - 7:30pm for our statewide mobilization call [[link removed]] to learn more about these bills, HB 193 [1] and HB 674 [2] , take action on the spot, and learn more about next steps you can take to stop these scary proposals from becoming reality.

JOIN THE ORGANIZING MEETING [[link removed]]

NC Republicans have spent the last 14 years making it easier for anyone and everyone to buy and carry weapons almost everywhere in public - including parks and greenways, bars and restaurants, even houses of worship. In 2023, they eliminated the Pistol Purchase Permit system, allowing anyone 18 and older to buy handguns from private sellers without a background check or permit.

And now, the weapons and the violence that they have fueled for years has started to spill into our schools - even our elementary schools and buses. In rural and urban areas. Twice last week. [3,4] This is the reality that NC Republicans have spent the last 14 years creating for my children, and yours.

Trust us, they say. We can solve this problem with more guns in your kid’s school.

But our teachers, our parents, all of us know better . We see the dangers - as retired school teacher and volunteer Sue Duncan makes clear in her excellent letter to the editor [[link removed]] about HB 193 in the State Port Pilot.

Join me & Sue in saying NO: We reject adding any guns into any North Carolina schools under any circumstances, to anyone who is not law enforcement. [[link removed]]

Come join us. We will organize and fight back, to protect our kids.

Yours in this fight,
Sara
