Friends —
If neither Republicans in Congress nor the courts will take action to help make our communities safer from gun violence, then we — the people — must do it ourselves.
[Tweet from Gavin Newsom: 'NEW: CA has officially introduced a US Constitutional Amendment to end the gun violence epidemic in this nation. The American people want action. Congress has refused. It’s up to states to step in. The Right to Safety will enshrine 4 gun safety freedoms: 1) Raising the age to purchase a gun to 21 2) Universal background checks 3) A waiting period for gun purchases 4) Banning civilian purchases of assault weapons']
Convening a constitutional convention requires 34 state legislatures to call for this. It starts with one, and California will be the first.
Will finding 33 more states calling to amend the Constitution be easy? No, of course not, I am clear-eyed about that.
From there, my promise to you is we are working, and will continue to work, with other states to grow that number.
- Gavin

👋🏻 Hi. Please don’t click away just yet. ☀️
Far-right Republicans and the NRA will attack us and do whatever they can to stop our progress in the fight to amend the Constitution on guns.
But the good news is, the people are on our side, the facts are on our side, and if we stick together we are going to get this done and save lives. It may not happen soon, but you have to believe it will happen.
Gavin Newsom’s pledge to you is every donation made today will go right toward our fight to pass a Constitutional amendment on guns. If that sounds worth it to you, please contribute $20 today.
