Maria Petersen, candidate for IL State Representative

We are honored to welcome Maria Petersen, candidate for IL State Representative who will be our speaker.

Also, we will have updates on IL State and Federal legislation and more information about our official partnership with the Guns Down America organization and updates on the Sunday, December 7, 2025, interfaith vigil at First United Methodist Church of Arlington Hts., IL

National news and legislation

Each month, WHILE WE FOCUS ON IL, we share National news and legislation as we gather to honor those affected and to renew our commitment to fostering safer neighborhoods.

Community involvement plays a critical role in prevention efforts. By coming together, we amplify effective strategies such as safe firearm handling, youth mentorship programs, and public education campaigns. Small changes—safe locks, secure storage, and awareness—can make a true difference in keeping homes and streets safe
