We are so grateful to Rachel Dye, Kate Layton and their entire CCC team for helping raise awareness and build support for The Responsibility in Fi***rm Legislation Act. When passed, The RIFL Act will make Illinois the first state in the nation to hold gun manufacturers accountable for the public health costs of gun violence - by requiring them to share with the taxpayers in footing the bill. THE BILL IS DUE!

GOOD TROUBLE! ✊
A few more photos from our Advocacy Day in Springfield. As John Lewis reminded us, “You must find a way to get in the way and get into good trouble, necessary trouble.”
We’re carrying that spirit forward as we continue fighting for the RIFL Act. The work isn’t finished, and neither are we. Let’s keep making good trouble until our legislators in Springfield pass the RIFL Act!
