Friend, tomorrow will mark six years since my daughter, Jaime, was killed by a gunman armed with a military-style assault weapon in Parkland, FL. She was hunted and shot, along with 13 of her classmates and three faculty members, as she ran down the halls of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

Tomorrow will be a hard day for my family. It always is — just like Jaime's birthday, or the holidays, or the days when another mass shooting makes national headlines. But after Jaime was killed, I made a promise to myself: No matter how hard it gets, no matter how deep our grief, I will never, ever, stop fighting for a country where no child is shot in the halls of their school.

Six years ago, I made a commitment to fight for the gun safety reforms that could have saved Jaime's life. Brady is leading that movement in Congress, in the courts, and in our communities — and they're counting on activists like you to join them. That's why I'm reaching out today. As we remember the Parkland shooting six years later, I'm helping Brady reach 6,000 responses on their assault weapons survey — and I'm counting on you to be one of them, friend.

Together, we can save lives by banning deadly weapons of war. So right now, will you join me and Brady by responding to our live survey and put pressure on our leaders in Washington?

Should Congress ban assault weapons?

Over the past six years, I've learned that this kind of grief never goes away. It will never be easy to live in a world without Jaime in it. But, today I have hope: The needle is moving in Washington. We have two gun violence prevention champions in the White House and a gun safety majority in the Senate fighting for change. And in 2022, we passed the most substantial reforms in decades. 

True change is on the horizon — but we need your help to keep our momentum going, friend. So please, honor the victims of Parkland with action, and respond to our survey right now to fight for a safer future for our children.

Should Congress ban assault weapons?

We know how to save lives, and this is how we set it all in motion. Thank you.
