John, next week will mark one year since the third deadliest school shooting in America at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX.

One year since 19 children and two of their teachers were violently killed in a spray of bullets from an AR-15.

One year of mourning for survivors and the first of many years of grief after unimaginable tragedy. 

But even after this last year of heartbreak and trauma, Congress has still refused to reinstate the assault weapons ban that could have prevented this horrific tragedy. Here at Brady, we will not accept that this is simply the way things have to be. And we're counting on you to join us. We need 50,000 gun violence advocates to respond to our petition before midnight tonight to demand change — please, will you make your voice heard?

There have been more than 40 school shootings since Uvalde. That’s what complacency gets us – without action, it is just a matter of time until another gunman with an assault weapon enters a school. There were more school shootings in 2022 than any year prior — and 2023 is already on track to set a new record.

It does not have to be this way, John. By passing an assault weapons ban, we can keep these weapons of war off our streets, out of our schools, and away from our children.

We know what it will take to achieve the change that families are counting on — and we cannot do it without you. Please, will you respond to our urgent survey before midnight tonight to call on Congress to stand up to the gun lobby and pass an assault weapons ban once and for all?
