Activists to Counter APD “Guns for Groceries” by Offering Cash Alternative and Encouraging Community Philanthropy

This Saturday February 26th from 9AM to 1PM the Austin Police Department will be hosting their second “Guns for Groceries” buyback program.  The goal of the program is to take guns off of the streets in exchange for grocery gift cards.

In response to this event local Austin activists will be holding their own “Guns for Cash” counter program.  Activists will be at the Meadow Baptist Church at 6905 South I-35 from 9AM to 1PM to offer those trading in their working firearms a cash option instead.
