Pride Fund to End Gun Violence Launches in Orlando, Florida

Kick-Off Will Feature City Commissioner Patty Sheehan, Watermark Editor Billy Manes, Pride Fund Executive Director Jason Lindsay, and Survivors and Family Members of the Pulse Massacre

Pride Fund to End Gun Violence PAC launches this Wednesday in Orlando. In the two months since the Pulse massacre, the LGBTQ community and allies have united behind Orlando families in a national call for action for common sense gun reform. We are tired of Congress’s inaction, and through the Pride Fund we are adding the strength and organization of the LGBTQ community to help prevent future gun tragedies and curtail the influence of the powerful gun lobby.  Pride Fund to End Gun Violence is America’s only LGBTQ organization solely focused on gun policy reform to ensure safety for all.
