JUNE=GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION MONTH – SUPPORT THESE ORGS WITH US!
Rachael & MPress Records believe fervently that gun violence in our country has long been out of control, with gun violence being the leading cause of death among teens, including suicide. We feel strongly that those continually advocating for better gun safety/background checks and violence prevention need our support! Here are some orgs we support, and we hope you will consider doing so too!
Also, check out "Another Day In America", a powerful song on this topic by our MPress alum, Seth Glier; we promise you'll be moved!

GIVING BACK: RACHAEL AVAILABLE FOR BENEFIT CONCERTS/APPEARANCES!
