Advocating for New Gun Safety Laws in Maryland

As the 2026 Maryland State Legislative Session begins, learn how you can help pass key safety bills that would prevent deaths and injuries by

a) protecting domestic violence victims from gun violence;
b) banning handguns that can easily be converted to machine guns; and
c) taxing gun dealer profits to generate sustained funding for community-based violence interventions.

Our distinguished guest panel will feature:

• Karen Herren (Moderator), Executive Director, Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence
• J. Sandy Bartlett, Esq., Maryland State Delegate, District 32, Anne Arundel County
• Nicole A. Williams, Esq., Maryland State Delegate, District 22, Prince George's County
• Jordan Chadwick, Legislative Assistant to Maryland State Senator Joanne C. Benson, District 24, Prince George's County

Please join the conversation on Sunday, January 18, from 12:55 to 2:30 in St. John's Parish Hall or via Zoom (bit.ly/STJN-SpecialEvent). For those attending in person, a light lunch will be offered at 12:30 pm.
