We DO! And they are doing some seriously cool stuff!!! While this main page mainly highlights issues at the state and national level, the local groups get to focus more on what matters most in their communities. It's pretty awesome.

One of our most active groups, located in the Peninsula School District, is working on a project and wants to extend their reach to the whole state!

Details about what's going on and how to participate in the image below.

You can't make this stuff up! SB-5078 (Large Capacity Magazine Ban) will require you to take a picture of you WITH your magazines and include something that can prove the date of the picture. (Newspaper?)

Be tactful and be effective.
