Jan 29, 2024 | #SHV30 and MA Safer Act Bill

SHV30 first billboard

Gayle Miles, Kendra’s mom, shared her memory of Stop Handgun Violence. Our first billboard on the Mass Pike in 1995 paid tribute to her daughter’s life and 14 other children. Firearms are now the leading cause of death for children and teens in America.

We’re highlighting our 30 years on social media and newsletters. If you have a story, memory or photo to share, please send it to info@stophandgunviolence.org

The SAFER Act was introduced by Senate leadership last week. “President Spilka and Senator Creem pledged to bring forth a broad gun safety bill and it has come to fruition. This legislation is a step forward in keeping our communities safer from the rising epidemic of gun violence.” John Rosenthal, founder and chair.
