John, we're proving the power of our grassroots movement.
On Monday, Students Demand Action leaders from Vanderbilt University organized a walkout hundreds strong to the Tennessee capitol in Nashville.
There, they met Moms Demand Action volunteers and grassroots supporters to demand stronger gun laws and hold elected leaders accountable.
Then on Wednesday, Students Demand Action groups across the country followed suit and led more than 300 walk-outs in 42 states and in Washington, D.C., to demand change from our leaders at all levels of government.
While students were making their voices heard, Moms Demand Action volunteers took over multiple state capitols. In other states across the country, our volunteer leaders organized rallies to hold lawmakers accountable for dangerous gun laws they recently passed despite strong opposition.
Our volunteers showed up in Texas, Nebraska, and South Carolina to demand lawmakers REJECT bad gun policies being considered by those legislatures. And once again, they showed up at the state capitol in Nashville to demand stronger gun laws that can help prevent future tragedies.
While our volunteers are showing up to statehouses in person, we're also activating our grassroots base to drive calls to elected leaders: this week in Tennessee alone, our supporters have made 7,500 dials urging lawmakers to take action and reject the gun lobby's agenda.
When we say we demand action, we mean it. In cold rain or bright sunshine, our volunteers have been showing up all year long to meet with their legislators and hold them to task in their jobs as elected representatives. States like Ohio and Texas held their biggest advocacy days ever.
Already this year, we've stopped more than 100 bad gun bills in state legislatures, and we're not letting up now.
With the help of supporters like you, we're building an incredible movement—and we're making gun safety an issue our politicians can't ignore.
Thank you for being with us.

Fighting for gun safety in every single state would be impossible without our thousands of incredible volunteers.
