Our hearts go out to the more than 356 communities across the nation who have suffered the trauma of a mass shooting in just the first 202 days of this year. And to the now  thousands of communities who have suffered similar senseless tragedy over the past 23 years. We at Chicago Area Peace Action understand that there is no simple solution that will magically put an end to these tragic occurrences.  Complex problems require complex solutions. How we establish, or re-establish our mutual connection to community,  provide adequate mental health care without judgement , and dispel the ugliness of "otherism", will take time, commitment and resources that we must be prepared to invest. 

But there is one doable step that must be taken immediately - and that  is to reduce the lethal capacity that is currently available to anyone living in the United States. It is easier to purchase an assault weapon capable of mass murder in seconds than it is to buy a drink in most states . 

And so we have endorsed a yard sign campaign with the following message...

You will receive the address where signs can be picked-up with your THANK YOU receipt.
