The Rhode Island State Council of Churches strongly supports S395. We encourage people of faith to take the following actions:
Contact your State Senator and tell them that you support S395. You can find your State Senator by clicking here.
Contact Senate President Valerie Lawson to register your support of S395.
Send written testimony to Senate Judiciary Chairman Matthew LaMountain.
Make sure to send written testimony to the committee clerk.
Show your support for S395 by attending in person — make sure to arrive early.
Reach out to your friends and family and encourage them to contact their State Senator as well.
Rhode Island’s Assault Weapons Ban is a constitutional and common sense approach to restricting access to weapons that do not belong in our communities.
