The Coalition Against Gun Violence (CAGV) has been working for over 24 years to create a safer community. CAGV supports reasonable gun violence prevention legislation to ensure gun safety at the local, state and national levels. CAGV focuses on keeping firearms away from irresponsible people.
Our Speaker: Toni Wellen is the Chair and co-founder of the Coalition Against Gun Violence, a Santa Barbara County Coalition with over 40 partner organizations. Toni, a resident of Carpinteria, is a Marriage & Family Therapist. She previously worked for The National Council on Alcoholism and as an elementary school teacher.
