As early as this week, the California legislature will vote on a resolution calling for a Constitutional Amendment to make our communities safer from gun violence.

Before they do, I want you to send a message to the California legislators who are going to cast a historic vote, and legislators we'll need all across the country to get this done.

This is a small and simple act, but it will speak VOLUMES about the desire in communities across the country for a Constitutional Amendment on guns.

The Right to Safety Constitutional Amendment will:

Raise the federal minimum age to buy a firearm from 18 to 21.

Mandate universal background checks.

Institute a reasonable waiting period for all gun purchases.

Ban civilian purchase of assault weapons.

And here is my pledge to you: If and when this passes in California, I will put significant resources behind getting it introduced and passed in other states.

Will finding 33 more states calling to amend the Constitution be easy? No, of course not, I am clear-eyed about that.

But it has to start somewhere. And it will... in California. But first:

Add your name as an official Citizen Co-Sponsor of our Right to Safety Constitutional Amendment to make our communities safer from gun violence.

If Congress and the courts will not take action to help make our communities safer from gun violence, then we — the people — must do it ourselves.

Thank you for making your voice heard,

Gavin Newsom
