The Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence (ICHV) is the oldest and largest statewide organization in the U.S. working to prevent the devastation caused by firearms. Founded in 1975 by four suburban Chicago women concerned about the tragic consequences of handgun proliferation and availability, ICHV works on a variety of fronts to educate, raise public awareness, and build coalitions to enact change in laws and behavior. For 37 years, ICHV has been a leader among state gun violence prevention groups. The Empty Bottle is hosting a benefit for ICHV 8:30 p.m. Jan. 30 at The Empty Bottle featuring DJs the Pirate Twins, Viceroy, The Artist Formally Known As Vince, Sunken Ships and Redgrave. There will also be a raffle with prizes from Reckless Records, Bite, Big Star, Union Pizzeria and more. All proceeds will benefit ICHV. Purchase tickets in advance here.
