John,
After the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, we begged our legislators to take action to prevent another school shooting.
|
|
But then it happened again in Parkland, where 17 students and educators were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Lawmakers refused to act, despite all of our meetings, calls, petitions, and protests.
|
|
After Parkland, young people demanded we fight harder to protect them. They walked out of their classrooms in protest and marched by the millions.
|
|
Their pleas were ignored in Congress, because lawmakers like Mitch McConnell refuse to oppose the gun lobby, even if it means putting our lives at risk.
|
|
That year, Parkland survivors started something bigger than we could have ever imagined: They sparked a movement to strengthen gun laws in states across the country. They engaged young people to take matters into their own hands and vote out NRA-backed politicians. They did what people thought was near-impossible – taking on the gun lobby and making significant progress – and we need to show them we’ve got their backs.
|
|
Today, just days away from the second anniversary of the tragedy in Parkland, it’s not students who need to hear us – it’s NRA-backed politicians like Mitch McConnell who have buried the bills that can save kids’ lives. And we can’t just say it – we have to prove to the survivors we’ve had ENOUGH of Congress’ inaction.
|
|
We put together a survey that will help us plan a strategy that holds McConnell and other do-nothing lawmakers accountable for the HUNDREDS of school shootings that have happened on their watch. You were handpicked to take it first, so please don’t delay: Take our gun violence prevention strategy survey now.

|
|
This is not an abstract problem, John. It’s life-or-death, and at Brady, we are working to end the gun violence epidemic in our lifetimes. Right now, we need your help to hold lawmakers like Mitch McConnell accountable for their silence and fealty to the gun lobby.
|
|
Please take the survey now – lives depend on us getting this right.
|
|
Thanks,
Team Brady
