CHICAGO, IL U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) hosted the first national women's forum on gun violence in Chicago today. This is the first of 16 forums scheduled to be held nationwide by women House members to develop strategies and build grassroots support to pass federal gun safety legislation this year.
