ASK Day
ASK Day takes place on June 21, the start of summer, a season when children often spend more time visiting friends and extended family. The day marks a national effort to encourage caregivers to ask about firearms in the spaces where their children spend time outside of the home. It can feel awkward at first, but it gets easier the more you do it. You can also encourage caregivers with whom you work to ask and role-play with them on how best to approach the conversation.
