Gun Industry Accountability:
Seeking Justice for All in Maryland

Sunday, November 5, 7- 8 pm
In person at Temple Shalom and live streamed
8401 Grubb Rd, Chevy Chase, MD 20815

Learn about the federal law that shields gun manufacturers, dealers, and other members of the gun industry from nearly all legal liability for wrongful conduct that leads to injury or death—and learn how states like Maryland are fighting back to hold the gun industry accountable and give gun violence survivors access to justice.
