Dear John, As 2023 comes to a close tonight, we stand at the cusp of a new year filled with potential and promise. This year we are extremely proud of the victories we made in our mission to end gun violence: - We helped pass a ban on the sale and possession of assault weapons, the deadliest firearms on the market, making Washington the 10th state to ban the sale of these military-grade firearms across all of our communities.
-
We enacted a 10-day waiting period for all firearm purchases, giving families more time to consider the safety implications of gun ownership.
- We created a pathway for victims of gun violence to sue gun dealers and manufacturers for their role in fueling the gun violence crisis.
-
We secured $30 million in funding for critical gun violence prevention programs, including education, intervention, and support for communities disproportionately impacted by gun violence.
Your support is the driving force behind this progress. John, your year-end donation, especially if made before midnight, is a pivotal contribution to our mission. As we enter 2024, let's continue to strive for a community where safety and responsibility are paramount. |
