Here are some ways you can help spread the ASK message throughout the year:
- Request some free ASK brochures from the Ceasefire Oregon Education Foundation and start passing them out. Distribute ASK brochures at sporting events, music events, medical offices, shopping malls, schools, hospitals, faith centers, playgroups, PTAs, and other family-friendly locations.
- Ask your healthcare provider to distribute ASK brochures.
- Volunteer to help stuff envelopes with ASK brochures at our mailing parties.
- Make a donation to the Ceasefire Oregon Education Foundation to support our ASK activities. The brochures cost 15 cents apiece, so your tax-deductible contribution of $15 will enable us to buy 100 ASK brochures.
- Invite someone from the Ceasefire Speakers Bureau to make an ASK presentation to your community group.
Most important: ASK! ASK if there is a gun where your child plays. If there is, ASK how it is stored.
Talk with your children about guns. Teach young children not to touch guns and to tell a trusted adult if they find one.
