The California Chapters of the Brady Campaign, along with our partners in the national Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, work throughout California to educate communities about gun violence prevention, and to help create and support public policies, legislation, and regulations for sensible gun laws.

Woolman - Sierra Friends Center
Woolman -Sierra Friends Center is an educational facility dedicated to the principles of peace, justice and sustainability.  It is home to The Woolman Semester, a program for high school juniors, seniors and gap-year students who want a hands-on, relevant, progressive and interdisciplinary study experience.  This is a Quaker community, open to all who share ideals embodying a vision for peace and justice achieved through learning and service.
