John,
In 2023, we made our movement even stronger.
This year marked my first year as executive director of Moms Demand Action, and I'm proud that we've welcomed more volunteers and supporters to our movement than ever before. Our inclusive grassroots coalition of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers, survivors, community leaders, and supporters like you is now more than 10 million strong: an undeniable force for change in the fight against gun violence.
Our efforts are paying off. In statehouses across the country, we helped pass a record-breaking 130 gun safety policies while also blocking 95 percent of the gun lobby's dangerous agenda. We made gun safety a winning issue at the ballot box, and cheered on 162 Moms Demand Action volunteers who ran for office. The majority of volunteers who ran declared victory, and will soon be taking the next step in their advocacy, from fighting for stronger gun laws to writing them.
Students Demand Action volunteers are change-makers for a generation that is bearing the brunt of our gun violence crisis. Our young leaders inspire me with every action they take, from mobilizing after a school shooting to rallying outside the U.S. Supreme Court to starting gun industry divestment campaigns on their college campuses.
The work our volunteers do is nothing short of life-saving. And as we head into a crucial election year, it's important to make sure our Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers know how much their continued efforts matter. Let the volunteers who power this movement know why you're thankful for them: Send a thank you note today.

Thanks to dedicated volunteers and supporters like you, our movement is now stronger than ever. And we're ready to take on the battles ahead together.
Thank you for being with us,
