Tell Your Representative to Stop Cuts to Gun Violence Prevention Programs ‣ Texas AFT

Last month, AFT asked its members to petition lawmakers to stop MAGA politicians from rolling back the Biden administration’s policy of strengthening background checks for gun purchases. So far, our activism is paying off. But this week, extremists in Congress are proposing to cut funding for gun violence prevention efforts.

We must take action to protect our students and teachers across Texas and stop Republicans in Congress from putting our children at risk.

You can write to your representative and ask them to fund safe communities and end cuts to critical gun violence prevention programs.

The House of Representatives is working on a Justice Department spending bill that includes cuts to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and Community Violence Intervention (CVI) programs.

We cannot allow this to happen; the potential harm to our communities and families is too great.
