John,

From advocating, testifying, and rallying around gun safety to electing our own to office, we will never back down from the hard work it takes to end gun violence.

Last November, Moms Demand Action volunteers from across Minnesota helped secure critical electoral victories in the statehouse—including volunteers who ran for office themselves and won. We helped flip the state senate to secure a trifecta with the Minnesota State House of Representatives and Governor Tim Walz, opening the door for significant progress on gun safety laws.

Now, these leaders are delivering on their commitment to gun safety: Last week, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed into law foundational gun safety measures that will close a dangerous gap in Minnesota's background check law, create an Extreme Risk law to limit firearm access by individuals in crisis, expand access to community violence intervention funding, and restrict the use of no knock search warrants.

And Minnesota isn't the only state where we're seeing the impact of electing Gun Sense Candidates. This week, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a critical gun violence prevention bill that would create an Extreme Risk law and allow for the temporary removal of firearms from people who pose a significant risk to themselves or others.

These victories couldn't have happened without the tireless advocacy of our Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers or our millions of grassroots supporters, proof that we are a political powerhouse in the movement to end gun violence.

Thank you for your support,

Everytown and Moms Demand Action
