[Tag your representative/senator] Join the #bipartisan effort to keep guns out of

[Tag your member of Congress] 82% of Americans agree: abusers & stalkers
shouldn't have guns. Can we count on your support too? #FaithsAgainstDV
82% of Americans support preventing domestic abusers from buying guns. Its
time for Congress to act! #FaithsAgainstDV #HR3130 #S1520
80% of gun owners support preventing domestic abusers from buying firearms.
Pass #HR3130 and #S1520 now! #FaithsAgainstDV
Its simple: When abusers have guns, women die. We urge Congress to close
dangerous loopholes. #FaithsAgainstDV
From 2001-2012, 6,410 U.S. women were murdered by an intimate partner using
a gun. #DV & guns are a lethal combination! #FaithsAgainstDV
Abused women are five times more likely to be killed if their abuser has access to
a gun. #FaithsAgainstDV #ProtectAllWomen
Guns are used in 55% of murders of American women & DV victims are 5x more
likely to be killed if their abuser has a gun. #FaithsAgainstDV
Is it loaded? Will he pull the trigger? Don't leave her to find out. Guns are used to
intimidate & control DV victims. #FaithsAgainstDV
Domestic violence & guns are a lethal combination. Time to close loopholes &
save lives! #FaithsAgainstDV
If he follows or harrasses her, he's not following the law. Stalking is a crime & it's
a risk factor for future violence. #FaithsAgainstDV
More than 75% of women killed by an intimate partner were stalked before their
deaths. #FaithsAgainstDV #ProtectAllWomen
Stalking is a strong risk factor for future violence. Let's keep guns out of the
hands of convicted stalkers. #FaithsAgainstDV
Over 85% of victims know their stalker. Abusers often continue their abuse and
control through stalking. #FaithsAgainstDV
Domestic violence, dating abuse & stalking are extreme violations of the dignity &
humanity of a person. #FaithsAgainstDV #ProtectAllWomen
As people of faith, we believe in the sacred right of every person to live free from
violence. #FaithsAgainstDV #ProtectAllWomen
As people of faith, we seek to make our communities safe for victims and
survivors of abuse and stalking. #FaithsAgainstDV #ProtectAllWomen
Our communities should provide a safe space for victims & survivors to heal.
Violence has no place in our faith traditions. #FaithsAgainstDV
Love your neighbor: Stand up for the safety of victims and survivors. Keep guns
away from convicted abusers. #FaithsAgainstDV #CanIGetAnAmen
As a person of faith, I believe that every person has the right to live free from violence
and abuse. This commonsense and bipartisan legislation would ensure that convicted
abusers and stalkers cannot legally purchase or possess guns. It would save lives and
make our communities safer for victims and survivors of abuse.
I urge you to fight to end gun violence and to act for survivors of domestic violence and
stalking by cosponsoring the Protecting Domestic Violence and Stalking Victims Act.
Sincerely,

Hello, my name is __________ and I'm calling from __________ (city/town and state).
Im calling today to urge Congressman/Congresswoman [Name] to cosponsor H.R.
3130, the Zero Tolerance for Domestic Abusers Act.
Every person has the right to live free from violence and abuse.
One in four women in the United States experiences severe physical abuse by
an intimate partner. Nearly half of intimate partner homicides are committed by
dating partner.
Current law allows abusers convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence against
a dating partner or misdemeanor stalking to legally access firearms.
Guns in the hands of violent abusers pose a significant risk to the safety of
victims and survivors.
The legislation would ensure that convicted abusers and stalkers cannot legally
purchase or possess guns.
This legislation would save lives and make our communities safer.

House Thank You Email:
Subject: Thank you for cosponsoring the Zero Tolerance for Domestic Abusers Act
As a constituent and a person of faith, I am writing to thank you for cosponsoring H.R.
3130, the Zero Tolerance for Domestic Abusers Act.
As you know, one in four women in the United States experiences physical abuse by an
intimate partner, and the presence of a gun in a violent relationship raises the risk of
homicide for women by five hundred percent. Nearly half of intimate partner homicides
are committed by dating partners. Yet current law allows stalkers and abusers convicted
of crimes against dating partners to obtain firearms, posing a significant risk to victims.
This legislation would help ensure that all victims are protected from gun violence at the
hands of convicted abusers.
As a person of faith, I believe that everyone has the right to live free from violence and
abuse, and I appreciate your leadership on this crucial issue. I hope that you will
continue to speak to your colleagues and constituents about this vital legislation.
Thank you for your commitment to saving lives and making our communities safer for
victims and survivors of abuse.
