The DeSaulnier Digest: Join us Wednesday for a Virtual Gun Violence Prevention Town Hall
With firearm deaths on the rise and guns now the leading cause of death for young people in our country, I am hosting a virtual Gun Violence Prevention Town Hall on Wednesday, August 14th at 1:00 p.m.
I will be joined by special guest Congressman Mike Thompson (CA-04), Chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, and panelists from the UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program and Moms Demand Action to discuss commonsense solutions to keep our communities safe and end the epidemic of gun violence.
