Hi,
So far this year, state legislatures have passed more than 80 gun safety policies and have blocked 95% of the gun lobby’s agenda. This is tremendous progress, but the fight is far from over. Here’s an unsettling fact: Firearms are still the no. 1 cause of death for children and teens in America. This statistic is more than just a number, it's a call to action.
Our children should be focusing on their education, on building friendships, and on dreaming about their futures. They should not be worrying about their safety when stepping into school each day.
That’s why we’re calling on Congress to take action, including passing background checks on all gun sales so we can keep firearms out of the wrong hands and help save our kids’ lives. We’ve set a goal to reach 10,000 signatures before midnight tonight, and we want to hear from you!
With your help, we can continue blocking the gun lobby’s agenda and protect our children from gun violence. Congress has the power to make change by passing background checks on all gun sales, but they won’t act unless we come together to demand action.
Please, will you help us reach our 10,000 signature goal by midnight tonight and add your name now?
It’s time our elected leaders took action to protect our country and children from gun violence.
Thank you for taking action,
Everytown for Gun Safety
