After the Vigils, the Real Work Begins

By Penny Okamoto, COEF

Here is a good article on what happens after the vigils for victims of gun violence end, and how many people are working toward positive, meaningful change: http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/local/story/2015/jul/26/after-vigils-…

Suicide and Guns

Suicide attempts using a gun are over 90% lethal, so removing access to a gun greatly diminishes the risk of suicide. Find out how you can protect yourself and your family.

Help Prevent Suicide

Call your legislators

You are ready to take action to stop gun violence. Here's how to contact your federal legislators and make your voice heard.

Oregon's Senators are:

  • Senator Ron Wyden (503) 326-7525
  • Senator Jeff Merkley (503) 326-3386

Oregon's Representatives are:

  • Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (503) 469-6010
  • Rep. Cliff Bentz (541) 776-4646
  • Rep. Maxine Dexter (503) 231-2300
  • Rep. Val Hoyle (541) 465-6732
  • Rep. Janelle Bynum (503) 387-8651
  • Rep. Andrea Salinas (503) 385-0906

When you call, identify yourself as a constituent. If you are speaking with a staff member, be polite and ask the person's name. Chances are, you'll be speaking with that person again. Give a clear and simple message like "Please vote NO on Bill XYZ." Ask if you can be called back about the issue. If you are uncomfortable talking to a staff member, call after hours and leave a message. It still counts!
