This Mother's Day Weekend, we're asking for what we all want: For our kids
to come home safe and for our families not to be ripped apart by gun
violence.

As a mother of four, inaction on this crisis leaves me terrified for my
children. Gun violence continues to kill 120 people every day, and there
have already been more than 180 mass shootings this year. In several of
them, an assault weapon was used to kill children while at school, to
attack people in acts fueled by hate and bigotry, and to retaliate at
former workplaces.

The good news is that we already know that banning assault weapons works.
In 1994, after Congress banned assault weapons with bipartisan support,
rates of gun violence and mass shootings began to go down. But in 2004,
the gun lobby prevented Congress from renewing the ban. That inaction has
helped make this crisis as utterly devastating as it has become. We're not
going to let the gun lobby win. Banning assault weapons worked before. It
can work again now.

And as Moms Demand Action's first ever Executive Director, I know from
experience that we can get the job done.

Last summer, we got Congress to pass a major gun safety law for the first
time in a generation, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. That victory
followed a decade of progress in statehouses across the country where Moms
Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers not only helped pass
hundreds of good gun safety laws, but also blocked 90 percent of bills
backed by the gun lobby.

This Mother's Day Weekend, we're asking our lawmakers to save lives—and
we're going to make our voices heard in every single congressional
district across the country.

Congress to reinstate the bipartisan assault weapons ban NOW: Find an
event near you.

Banning assault weapons will not end this crisis altogether, but with your
support, we can make sure our country takes this huge step toward a future
free from gun violence.

Thank you for being a part of this movement. I can't wait to see you on
Mother's Day Weekend.
