Doctors for America

AMWA is supporting a petition to Washington, D.C., in the wake of the tragedy in Newtown, Conn.

As the nation mourns the fallen children and teachers of Sandy Hook Elementary School, we know we must take a stand against gun violence as a public health crisis that claims far too many lives. The petition AMWA is supporting reads, in part: "We, the undersigned doctors, nurses, medical students, and nursing students urge you to pass gun safety legislation immediately and present the nation with a comprehensive plan to curtail gun-related violence."
