The Church of the Brethren Gun Violence Prevention Action Team works to galvanize the Church of the Brethren to be faithful as an effective force for reducing gun violence in our neighborhoods and wherever it occurs.
Are you concerned about the escalating issue of gun violence in our country? Do you long to make a meaningful difference but want to connect with other Brethren in addressing this challenge from a Jesus-centered perspective? Do you want your congregation to speak up and take action on this issue but don’t know how to get started?
Join us on Saturday, March 2, at 1pm Eastern (10am Pacific), for our quarterly Church of the Brethren Gun Violence Prevention Organizing Meeting.
Topics:
- Taking Public Action on the issue of Gun Violence
- Racial Justice and Gun Violence
- Becoming a Congregational Ambassador for Gun Violence Prevention Prevention
The meeting will be led by members of the CoB Gun Violence Prevention Action Team along with staff and interns of On Earth Peace.
It can be easy to feel despair as we watch the news. Let us build hope together and move forward into ongoing efforts to heal our communities. We need YOU to expand this work.
Whether you or your congregation have already taken steps or are looking to get involved, OEP’s Church of the Brethren Gun Violence Prevention Action Team invites you to our second quarterly organizing meeting specifically for gun violence prevention advocates connected to the Church of the Brethren.
Previous attendance at our quarterly meetings is not required, but we will build on work done in the previous meeting. Slides and resources from our Dec 1, 2023 meeting can be found here [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1LTc6HVDGMSBB_2bpn36BXF4BnCnHHsje].
