LWV CVA Gun Violence Prevention
Meg Heubeck, Chair 2024-2026

Organized in 2019, this committee is a local adjunct of the LWV of Virginia’s Gun Violence Prevention. The goal of the committee is to support sensible firearm legislation by educating our community on the prevalence of gun violence and the need for safe storage of firearms by sponsoring community forums and tabling events, lobbying our local and state legislators for firearmssafety legislation; and working with other groups such as Charlottesville Coalition for Gun Violence Prevention. This committee does not have regular business meetings but shares information primarily through emails and the newsletter, but it does have regular opportunities for members to participate in actual advocacy. All are welcome and participation can be varied. Members who are interested or would like to learn more about this crucial topic. Please contact Meg Heubeck, mfheubeck@virginia.edu
