Wisconsin - Take a Stand Against Gun Violence: Donate a Pair of Shoes

http://org2.salsalabs.com/o/5610/c/238/p/salsa/web/common/public/content?content_item_KEY=12230

Every year an average of 467 men, women, and children are killed by guns in Wisconsin.

To remember the victims, we will travel the state with a powerful display of 467 pairs of empty shoes. At each stop, we will demand that our leaders address the gun violence crisis.

Please help build this display by mailing shoes to our office (address below) or bringing them to one of the following locations:
