If you would like to be more involved
in the ASK Campaign or join the Portland ASKs Coalition, please contact
Shawn Alford via email at shawn@ceasefireoregon.org or by phone at 503-220-1669. To request ASK materials
such as posters and brochures, please contact PAX at ask@paxusa.org.
- Distribute Brochures:
The ASK Campaign has created educational brochures, “19 Million
Parents Are Asking!…Are
You?” These tri-fold brochures are double-sided with text in both
English and Spanish and provide parents with tips on how to start the
conversation.
- Write a Newsletter
Article: Newsletter
articles and other bulletins and updates generated by different groups
are an effective way to spread the ASK message, advertise an ASK-related
event in your area or let your community know you support the ASK mission.
ASK has sample newsletter pieces in varying lengths and with different
themes as well as logos and other graphics that can be easily cut and
pasted—just
call or email us.
- Link to ASK: Place a link or banner
to ASK (www.AskingSavesKids.org) on your website or in your email footers
or just about anywhere else. ASK will provide all artwork.
- Talk to
your Doctor: Your local healthcare providers interact with families
every day, making them a natural partner for ASK. Talk to your healthcare
provider or local hospital administration about displaying ASK materials
or including them in preventative care literature or take-home packets
for parents.
- Share Your Story: The
ASK Campaign recognizes the impact real-life stories have on those who
can effect change. Please consider sharing how a firearm-related event
affected your home or community. The ASK Campaign is honored to have
parents share their stories in hopes that similar tragedies will
be avoided. Email ask@paxusa.org.
