This is from the gun forum I belong to (WAGUNS). This is very easy and does not take long to complete. Let them hear our voice! Please read, there are 2 PRO and 2 CON responses. If you have the time written testimony would help as well. Please post "done" if you have completed it to keep this on top for everyone to see!
From the Washington Civil Rights Association, our second Easy Action of the Day for this year!

https://app.leg.wa.gov/csi/Senate#Select Committee=Law & Justice, Meetings = 1/17/2022; Select SB 5217, and select “I would like my position noted....” (or you can submit written testimony!), on the next screen choose Position = CON. Be careful, it defaults to PRO and you need to change that! Fill in your name.
Let’s show a united front—for organization, choose “Washington Civil Rights Association.” Fill in the rest of your information (so they can determine which district you’re in (and which legislators should really care about your position and that you’re actually a WA resident), and then come back and do it again for SB 5568 (Preemption).
We’re supporting (PRO) SB 5690 (Firearms at memorials), and SB 5407 (Firearm theft)—feel free to just select “I would like my position noted…” for those two.
We have an urgent need for women and minorities to testify on these bills. If you would like to testify, please send Curtis (curtis@wacivilrights.org) a couple of your talking points asap as we're collecting a panel of those with the best points and the best ability to convey a powerful message.

Please, please, please—share this with EVERYONE. The ONLY way we’re going to win this is if EVERYONE shows up and plays HARD BALL. We need to show these elected officials that they will lose the next election if they vote for these bills!
