In the wake of the mass shooting in Highland Park, many of us are asking the same question: WHAT CAN WE DO?

People for a Safer Society are asking you to contact Governor Pritzker, Senate President Don Harmon, and Speaker Chris Welch to demand that Illinois have a special legislative session dedicated to gun violence prevention in Illinois. 

Specifically, the legislature is asked to immediately consider: 

  • a ban on assault-type weapons 
  • a ban on large capacity magazines 
  • mandatory fingerprinting to get a FOID card 

Please call and email the leaders listed below and demand a special legislative session to address the plague of gun violence in Illinois:

  1. Governor Pritzker – Click here to send an email or call (312) 814-2122
