CA State PTA SCRIPT
"Hello, my name is [insert your name]. I am a PTA member and constituent from [insert your city]. I am "calling you out" today to demand stronger gun-violence prevention federal legislation including:
• Prohibiting the sale and possession of assault weapons including automatic and semi-automatic weapons
• Mandatory background checks
• Waiting periods for all firearm purchases
The time for change is now. We need to put politics aside and turn emotion into action. Thank you for your attention in this critical matter."
Join parents, educators, elected officials, and community members on Friday, April 20th, 9am-2pm for the 38th annual PTA Advocacy Day for Education. This event is hosted by the San Ramon Valley, Las Trampas Creek and and Pleasanton PTA Councils. We will explore topics related to public school funding in California.
Engage in an enlightening discussion and learn how you can make an informed difference!
