Heeding God’s Call to End Gun Violence seeks to energize the American faith community and actively seek an end to gun violence through public witness and policy advocacy.
Heeding promotes public witness and call to action through Gun Violence Awareness Days, Murder Site Witness events, and Memorials to the Lost®. These engagements offer opportunities for education as well as for individual and community healing.
Heeding works through faithful public policy advocacy. Each engagement mobilizes people toward policy that include voter guides, letter writing campaigns, and direct, in-person lobbying. Once interfaith community members are educated, they are ready to participate in advocacy that involves visiting their legislators in Harrisburg. Public witness, calls to action, and policy advocacy allow Heeding to build a campaign by involving the public, media, and legislators to enact common sense gun laws like One Handgun a Month.
