Friend,

22 people are dead and as many as 60 people are injured after mass shootings in Lewiston, ME. People were gunned down in a restaurant and at a bowling alley – places that should have been safe parts of everyday life, turned deadly with a firearm. 

Right now, the shooter is still at large and Brady continues to monitor the situation. As we wait for more details to emerge, there is an incontrovertible truth of this mass shooting: The community of Lewiston, ME, will never be the same. 

Devastatingly, Lewiston is not unique in this truth. Far too many communities have been changed forever by a mass shooting – this year alone there have been 564. Rampant tragedy should not be the norm of our nation. Americans deserve to feel safe in their daily lives and not fear that theirs may be the next city making headlines.

In the face of tonight’s most recent tragedy, I’m asking you to raise your voice to call for change. We must stay strong and stand with this community in shock and mourning. Please, friend, will add your name to our urgent petition calling for immediate action to address gun violence?

Thank you for honoring the victims and survivors of the shooting in Maine with action. We are devastated but we remain determined to keep fighting.

Kris Brown

Brady President

Our hearts are with the victims and families of yet another senseless, preventable mass shooting.
