YOU Can End Gun Violence.
END GUN VIOLENCE NOW!
Sign this Petition:
Say NO to armed guards in Stamford Public Schools!
Children should not be systematically penalized because of gun violence. We have an ethical obligation to implement fair, evidence-based policy that places the burden of gun violence not on vulnerable children but on the adults who enable and profit from it.
The presence of armed guards where children and youth spend the bulk of their time runs counter-intuitive to education and to offering safe spaces for kids to learn and grow. Having armed guards or SROs at our schools has not proven to prevent gun violence and would set a dangerous precedent.
It has come to our attention that there is a petition circulating in support of armed guards/ SROs in and around our Stamford schools. With the above counter-petition, we are urging the Stamford Board of Education and Office of the Superintendent to consider alternative ideas to preventing gun violence.
Please read and sign this petition ASAP.
Then, please attend with us the next regular Stamford Board of Ed meeting, which is scheduled for Tuesday, April 24, 2018 at 7:00 PM at the Stamford Government Center, 888 Washington Blvd, 5th floor. Public comment will be allowed.

BREAKING: HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE PASSES BILL THAT WOULD GUT STATE GUN LAWS!
Call Congress now at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to VOTE NO on H.R.38 and REJECT CONCEALED CARRY RECIPROCITY!
Call Congress now at (202) 224-3121 and tell them NO on #HR38 and tell them to REJECT CONCEALED CARRY RECIPROCITY!
H.R. 38, or "Concealed carry Reciprocity Act of 2017" is a dangerous gun bill that would force each state to accept the concealed carry standards of all other states. Under H.R. 38, a person denied a permit in his home state - e.g. after a criminal conviction - could simply get an out-of-state permit, and carry back at home. This bill would also make it terrifyingly easy for abusers to legally carry concealed firearms into other states when stalking their victims.
"Concealed carry reciprocity (CCR)" is a complicated name for a law that would make it simple for abusers to threaten and harass -- and kill -- their intimate partners with firearms. Survivors often relocate to other states to escape their abusers, but H.R. 38 would force every state to accept other states' concealed carry permits, even if the out-of-state permit was issued to a domestic abusers who would be prohibited from obtaining such a permit in the travel state. This is a clear violation of the Constitution's recognition of states' rights, and it is dangerous for victims of #DomesticViolence.

Call your representatives TODAY and tell them you OPPOSE this bill. #StopCCR
