Lock It Up is a program created by the League of Women Voters of Broward County to provide free gun locks and public education materials to Broward households. Guns that are safely secured prevent accidental shootings and gun suicides.
The program is an all-volunteer effort that has been supported by the US Veterans Administration and with grants from the American Legion.
In the first two months of 2026, gun locks and educational materials have been delivered to 924 organizations that expressed an interest in joining the League in promoting about safe storage of guns.
If you'd like to help us make calls to more preschools or deliver materials, please email: barbaramarkley@bellsouth.net
To request a free gun lock, email: gunsafety@lwvbroward.org
