Stop The Upcoming NRA Convention In Dallas

March 1, 2018 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

The NRA is not welcome in Dallas! We support Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Carraway’s call for the NRA to move it’s upcoming convention to another city, and urge Mayor Mike Rawlings and other city council members to speak out and do the same. This dangerous organization’s agenda has brought on the crisis of mass shootings in our country, yet they continue to distort the conversation on sensible gun control, even after the latest school shooting in Parkland, Florida. The NRA has no place in our city.

Join our CALL TO ACTION below!

First, sign our petition so that the city of Dallas can see/feel our power in numbers:
http://bit.ly/NoNRAInDallas

From 2 to 4 p.m., reach out to Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and your city council by phone, email, social media, or any relevant communication tool and let them know that the NRA should not be allowed to use our city’s convention center. Here is where you can contact them at:

Lastly, share this with 5 friends or family members and urge to do the same so we can build the momentum needed to stop the NRA from arriving in Dallas!

Here’s language you can use:

The NRA’s singular focus on gun sales has put the lives of Americans in danger. No place is safe from mass gun violence because the NRA has bullied our government into submission, to a point where even researching gun violence is prohibited, let alone sensible gun controls.

For these reasons, we do not want the NRA in Dallas. We stand with Mayor Pro Tem I Dwaine Carraway in rejecting the NRA, and urge Mayor Mike Rawlings and the Dallas City Council to do everything in their power to keep the NRA out of Dallas.
