COme Together, Write A Letter

Students across our nation
are asking adults to
​finally take meaningful steps
to make our schools,
and our nation,
safe from gun violence.

​Let's work together to help them.

If we want Congress to pass reasonable gun legislation,
we need to make our voices heard
NOW.

Together,
we are powerful.

We need to contact our representatives
and tell them what
WE THE PEOPLE 
(RED and BLUE )
want changed.

WE THE PURPLE
can make a difference 
when we act 
TOGETHER.

Keep talking and start writing...

A Sample Letter...

Dear Senator  __________________

We are a group of concerned citizens from across the red/blue political divide. We recently met to talk about guns in America in hopes of finding common ground.

We used the Purple Living Room Project’s discussion protocol to help find purple points of agreement.  Here are the positions we discovered we have in common:

1. We believe _________

2. We think __________

This is the middle ground. These are actionable positions you can endorse with the support of your constituents from both parties.   

We ask you to work with your colleagues to pass meaningful gun legislation this year. Our children deserve to feel safe at school. Our nation deserves responsible leadership.

​Please act now. 

In our conversation, we also discovered many purple points of agreement about what makes us grateful for our country. We also thank you for your commitment and service to our nation.

Sincerely Yours,

__________             __________            __________
