Clergy Against Bullets (CAB) is the first interfaith organization committed to reducing dangerous bullets and gun violence in America. It is time for all religious leaders of all faiths and denominations to speak out on the issue of gun violence.
The organization started in response to the 2011 Tucson gun violence. The recent mass shooting in Newtown, CT has torn our hearts and motivated us to act.
Sadly, we live in a country where it is easier for someone to buy an assault weapon that to get treated for mental illness.
We live in a country where someone can walk into a Walmart and buy a semi-automatic clip one hour, be stopped by the police, and still go on to commit an act of mass murder. This is a moral issue that demands a religious response.
CAB calls upon every clergy person - men and women, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, Baha'i, Sikhs and others - to publicly demand change.
Speak to your religious leader about this vital issue and make a difference! Ask them to sign the petition today!
