A CALL TO ACTION:
THE $100,000 DOLLAR CHALLENGE

By Lynne Honickman

Among the saddest aftermaths of the recent killing of 58 innocent people in Las Vegas is the sense among many that gun
violence is inevitable in the United States, that politically powerful forces will always protect the profits of gun manufacturers
over the security of our citizens.
I refuse to believe that. I’ve worked for years trying to counterbalance the moneyed influence of the National Rifle Association by
promoting sensible, responsible safety laws. Seven years ago, I joined with CeaseFire PA, an advocacy organization dedicated to
helping raise the voices of communities determined to end gun violence.
And now, I have to increase my e orts. To that end, the Honickman Foundation is o ering a challenge grant, with a lead contribution
of $100,000 to match donations made to CeaseFirePA. 
I have always believed in the power of unified action by people on the ground to solve pressing problems. Gun violence is an
undeniable health crisis, producing horrendous stress in our communities, our families and our children.
We are trying to build a stronger force to compete with the NRA’s influence in our state – and our nation. We are going to fight on
the ground in Harrisburg, and in communities large and small to keep families safe from senseless gun violence. But we can’t do it
alone. We need you to stand with us.
I’m proud of the work already done by CeaseFirePA, the largest gun violence prevention organization in Pennsylvania.
Executive director Shira Goodman is an inspired, respected and proactive leader.
But we want to do more. We want an end to mass murders in our country, and know you do as well. So we ask for your contributions
– large or small as they may be. We plan to match those contributions, because we know that e ective lobbying takes money.
The gun lobby has money – we need to fight on their turf.
Please understand, we don’t hate guns. But we hate what guns can do when they are not monitored by commonsense laws that
respect and protect life.
As Ellen S. Alberding, president of the Joyce Foundation said: Let’s start by challenging the assumption that there’s no way to stop
gun violence. Gun violence in the United States is not a constitutionally derived inevitability. Gun violence – whether directed at a
member of Congress or a child walking home from school – happens because our elected o cials have made a series of deliberate
policy judgments that guns should be easy to buy, sell and carry by nearly anyone, anywhere any time.”
Our legislators must pass laws that are favored by most Pennsylvanians and Americans: Reporting requirements for lost and stolen
weapons, expanded background checks, limits on high-capacity magazines and stricter regulation (or perhaps a renewed ban) on
assault weapons.
I’m asking you to stand up with us to demand better from our elected o cials. And if those lawmakers refuse to listen, I’m asking
you to help vote them out.
If we truly want to honor the memory of those lost to senseless killing, thoughts and prayers are not enough.
A call to action is needed. Our $100,000 challenge grant is aimed to spur that action. THERE IS NO AMOUNT TOO SMALL.
Please imagine how much more we can do together. It’s all about what kind of world we want here.
To meet the challenge, please send your tax-deductible contribution to:
CeaseFirePA, P.O. Box 60095, Philadelphia, PA 19102
or donate on line at www.ceasefirepa.org/donate. Thank you.
