TAKE ACTION

John,

This past weekend was very heavy for me and for our country: six mass shootings,
including in El Paso, Dayton and Chicago that only underscore the crisis of gun
violence we face here in the United States of America. Everyday across the
country, firearm-related deaths and injuries violate people’s right to live safe
from gun violence, yet never make the news.

Everyone has the human right to live in safety, whether they are going to the
mall or walking down the street in their neighborhood. We see regular mass
shootings in this country — and yet there is still no meaningful reform to
address this crisis.

John, I cannot sit here and do nothing any longer.
If you feel the same way, too — join me in taking action to ask the Senate to
pass universal background checks for the sale of every gun in our country.

Simply put, there are too many guns, insufficient laws to keep track of them all
and to keep them out of the wrong hands, and a relentless reality of violence.
This is not about mental health or videogames — this is about a lack of reforms
on the federal, state and local levels to protect everyone’s safety.

Take the first step with me now: ask your Senator to pass legislation requiring
background checks for the sale of every gun.

President Trump will stop at nothing to distract us from what really needs to
happen with his rhetoric, demonizing communities of color and individuals who
suffer from mental health challenges. We urgently need human rights-centered
reform that will prevent and end gun violence.

You and I know what really needs to be done. Don’t hesitate: send a letter to
your Senator now to take action on gun violence.
