Taking Steps To End Gun Violence

One of our focus issues at
The Purple Living Room Project
is
"Guns in America".

This week, 
several people posted in
our facebook group
about the recent announcement by
TOMS founder, Blake Mycoskie, 
that the company would donate
​5 million dollars 
to causes that are working to end gun violence.

TOMS also started a postcard-writing campaign called,
"End Gun Violence Together".

They developed a web tool that allows anyone who feels
that there should be universal background checks
to quickly send a postcard to Congress.

(You can learn more about it at www.toms.com.)

Over 500,000 cards have been sent already!

According to Mycoskie,
TOMS' customer base is roughly
half Republican and half Democrat. 

TOMS is a business committed
to making positive social change
so it is trying to
take action on issues
that unite us all as citizens...

 Purple Points!

 Here is a message from the TOMS website...

Sound familiar?

It's encouraging to see corporate America thinking purple.

Let's keep moving forward together!
