Happy Holidays from everyone at #chitowngvpsummit

From our team to you and yours, we wish you all a very merry holiday season and new year!!

On their first day back after winter break, there is currently an active shooter situation at Perry High School in Iowa. While we don’t know all the details yet, we do know that no child should fear gun violence, especially in a place that is supposed to be safe, like school.

Multiple people were shot early this morning at Perry High School in Iowa before classes began. Today was their first day back after winter break. Our hearts are with the students, the faculty, and their loved ones waiting in agony for information. We should not have to live

Gun violence is preventable. 76% of school shooters get their gun from the home. Always keep your guns locked, unloaded, and away from ammo. By promoting safe gun storage, we can keep our kids and families safe. Together, we can #EndFamilyFire.
