I want to say thank you for contributing to Their Future PAC’s July fundraising goal—every dollar raised is crucial to ensuring we can continue our efforts.
There’s a lot of issues we’re focused on as an organization, because the ways in which our country is failing our kids are plentiful.
Here’s a startling figure: The number of gun deaths among children and teens in America jumped by over 50% between 2019 and 2021 alone.
We hear a lot about mass shootings in the media and that’s definitely an important part of this epidemic, but many of gun deaths for small children are unintentional. This means a child gains access to an unsecured firearm and unintentionally pulls the trigger, killing themselves or someone else.
More children die from unintentional firearm injuries than in mass shootings every year… a fact we don’t talk about nearly enough.
The one thing you can do right now to keep your kids safe is to: talk to the parents of the kids they play with and to family members about the importance of secure firearm storage in the home. Yes, it’s daunting—like stepping onto a political battlefield—but these are the conversations that save lives.

Everyone who supports Their Future is contributing towards the solution, so thank you again for keeping us fueled for the fight ahead.
