John –
While Brady will be celebrating International Women’s Day on March 8, Mitch McConnell and the NRA will be ensuring women across the country are in danger from guns in the hands of domestic abusers.
More than a year ago, McConnell chose to let the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) expire rather than pass a measure to close the deadly "boyfriend loophole" – which allows convicted domestic abusers to purchase guns.
Here’s why that matters: Victims of domestic violence are FIVE times more likely to be murdered if their abuser obtains a gun. Now, because of Mitch McConnell and NRA-financed politicians, women across the country don’t have sufficient legal protection from domestic violence, and their abusers can still purchase firearms.
Brady is fighting back to elect gun violence prevention champions to oust NRA puppets like Mitch McConnell and put women’s lives ahead of gun lobby profits. But if we’re going to make real progress, we need you fighting with us. Before midnight tonight, we need 20,000 supporters to stand up for women: Will you add your name to our petition to demand Congress reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act?

We need your help to make sure women aren’t murdered by their abusers, and that means we need to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act immediately and get guns out of abusers’ hands.
Thanks for doing what’s right,
Renee Davidson
