"For any movement to gain momentum, it must start with a small action." -Adam Braun It is the small, consistent steps that keep our momentum moving forward. It is the constant drum of small actions that builds awareness and creates change. We are incredibly proud of everyone's efforts in moving CARR forward, but our work is not finished. We need you to take action to help us keep up this momentum by calling the legislative hotline. Here's how you can help: 📞 Call the Legislative Hotline at 1-502-237-4916. 📞 Provide your name and address. 📞 Follow the prompts and ask to leave a message with Senate Leadership (Committee on Committees), including President Stivers and Senators Adams, Givens, Thayer, and Wilson. 📞 Leave the following message: "Please allow a Judiciary Committee Hearing on Senate Bill 13 (CARR) this session. Preventing gun violence and suicide is my top priority, and this bill deserves a discussion." 📞 Thank the operator and conclude the call. Please help us reach our goal of 500 calls to the hotline, and let's get a hearing scheduled!

To hear the SCOTUS, go to https://lnkd.in/ebSMNKtc and look for the green button with “Live Oral Argument Audio” next to it. Great value as well to listening to federal courts of appeals and state appellate courts where the huge majority of cases are resolved and where there are also some top-flight arguments.
