[LWVNM Action] Action meeting to set priorities, TOMORROW Jan 2 6pm - actually January 3

[Meredith Machen]

Missing under Other Priorities is Gun Safety legislation.
Once again Chandler is sponsoring the fix to our Red Flag law Extreme Risk
Protection Order and Andrea Romero is sponsoring the Assault Weapons Ban
and other gun legislation.

Under Immigration, there will be other important measures in line with
LWVUS and LWVNM positions to consider.
