We are also in the midst of the Season for Nonviolence, the 64-day period from January 30th to April 4th memorializing the dates Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. were assassinated. In honor of these two notable moments, we are urging Congress to support the DoP legislation.

Dear Friends in Texas - in a few days, Jeff Pudlo from our DC office will be meeting with your Senator, John Cornyn's, office to talk with them about the Youth PROMISE Act. John Cornyn is important to us- he's on the Judiciary Committee, which has the power to advance the Youth PROMISE Act, and as a Republican, he has worked with the same types of evidence based approaches to reducing violence the Youth PROMISE Act uses.
