    Dear Loveland Magazine readers,

    “Converting guns into weapons of mass destruction should be stopped.”

    That’s what I stated in support of an ordinance that banned the possession, use, or sale of bump stocks in Cincinnati — making it the first city in Ohio to do so. After the shooting in Las Vegas, I knew that action was necessary and that bump stocks — the accessories the gunman used to shoot over one thousand rounds of ammunition in mere minutes — had to be removed from our communities. And right now, we have a chance to help make not only Cincinnati, but our entire nation safer.

    With an overwhelming majority of Americans calling for bump stocks to be regulated, the ATF is now asking for the public to weigh in on a proposed rule that would make bump stocks illegal. But the gun lobby is already flooding the ATF with comments OPPOSING action on bump stocks, so we need to make sure the ATF hears from you and the majority of Americans who SUPPORT this regulation RIGHT NOW.

    I’m doing what I can to prevent a tragedy like Las Vegas from happening in Cincinnati and together, we can work to make our entire country safer. Leave a comment in SUPPORT of a regulation that would prohibit bump stocks right now.

    SUBMIT A COMMENT IN SUPPORT OF REGULATING BUMP STOCKS

     

    The shooter was able to effectively convert his rifles into machine guns because of bump stocks. The ordinance to ban bump stocks is an important step to make the city of Cincinnati safer, and we have a chance to make our entire country safer from gun violence. But it requires you to leave a comment: It doesn’t have to be long or complicated, just say why you’re in support of regulating bump stocks.

    Thank you for taking part in this life-saving opportunity.

    Freedom Seder: Struggle for Freedom Crosses Cultures, Communities

    WHAT: People of many faiths from all over Cincinnati are invited to join in song, prayer, and honest conversation at a Freedom Seder. Attendees will taste the Passover foods, sing songs of liberation, and learn and grow with pastors, rabbis, musicians, and the director of the I AM Campaign on human trafficking.

    On April 4, 1969, on the one-year anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, in the basement of a church in Washington, DC, 800 people, half Jews, the rest black and white Christians, took part in the first Freedom Seder. Together they told the stories of their ancestors’ release from bondage, traversing the wilderness, and pursuing a life of freedom.

    WHEN: Wednesday, March 28, 6:30 p.m.

    WHERE: Kenney Heights Arts Center Annex

    6620 Montgomery Rd., Unit 2 – Cincinnati, OH 45213

    WHO: The event is sponsored by JustLOVE, the Amos Project, the Monastery Studio, and the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), the public affairs arm of the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati. It is free and open to the public.  

    WHY:  The story of Exodus, the story of the first Freedom Seder, and the story that is happening right now – all of it is part of a journey towards peace. With each retelling, we bring to life the reality of the struggle for a just and free world. We are reminded that all lives matter and that our sacred traditions hold wisdom for our current plight.
