Contact the MD General Assembly
Please join GVP group member Jennifer Stein "watching" and contacting the Maryland General Assembly as it considers important gun sense reform legislation. Please email members of the State Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee to support SB 946, the "Weapons-Free Higher Education Act" to keep guns off of public college campuses. The MD House of Delegates has already passed the bill. Contact now.
Here is a quick "script" for the email message and any phone calls you can make also to these state Senators:
I'm contacting Senator ____________ to support The Weapons Free Higher Education Bill, SB 946. The bill has already passed the House of Delegates. Prohibiting guns on college campuses will keep our communities safer. Maryland youth and families need your support on this bill to pass the committee and the State Senate.
GVP Group Meeting
TONIGHT at 7:30 PM
We'll discuss recent GVP calls to New Hampshire, New Mexico and Maryland voters and legislators; use of Moms Demand Action gun sense action predictive dialing system; status of federal gun bills; and plans for second quarter of 2017.
For further information, please contact GVP chair Steve Klitzman.

Anat Hoffman Reception & Discussion
|
From the Back of the Bus to the Top of the Agenda
March 23 at 7:30 PM with reception at 7 PM
Washington Hebrew Congregation (
3935 Macomb Street NW)
Anat Hoffman, Executive Director of the Israel Religious Action Center (IRAC), will discuss the most recent developments on segregation and exclusion of women in Israel as a result of increased demands for more modesty in the public sphere in order to adjust to religious standards. The exclusion of women "for God's sake" has become a litmus test for the infiltration of ultra-Orthodox norms into state definitions of religious requirements in the public sphere and exclusion and looks at the remaining challenges in this area. Hoffman is one of Israel's leading human rights activists working toward gender, religious, racial and ethnic equality.
Learn more and RSVP. This event is co-sponsored by the TSWRJ, the TS Israel Affairs Committee, and
Washington Hebrew Congregation.
