John, this is extremely urgent:

Senate Majority Leader McConnell still hasn't called an emergency session on gun safety reform – so we need to push even harder.

In just the last two weeks, there have been 17 mass shootings across the country. We simply cannot accept inaction – not when gun safety reforms like the lifesaving universal background checks bill have been stalled in the Senate for months and could prevent the next tragedy from happening.

We still need 12,332 more signatures by tomorrow urging Senate leadership to end their vacation and act, but I don't see your name yet. We cannot let more lives be put at risk, so please, can I count on you to sign our petition right now?

Please click here to sign our petition to tell Senate Majority Leader McConnell to end the Senate's August break and pass universal background checks before more precious lives are lost to gun violence.

Sign the Petition

This is a critical moment for gun safety reform, so we're so grateful to have your support and action today. Together, we can honor every person killed by gun violence by preventing the next tragedy before it happens.

Subject: Please sign: Sen. McConnell, call an emergency session on background checks!

John,

Last weekend, 31 people were murdered and over 50 more were injured in a matter of minutes in El Paso and Dayton. And just a few days prior, there were mass shootings in Gilroy, Chicago, Philadelphia and Brooklyn.

This is an emergency – and the Senate needs to treat it as such.

The House has already passed a lifesaving, historic bill to require background checks on all gun purchases. But instead of rushing back into session after two horrific mass shootings happened just 13 hours apart – instead of taking real, decisive action to prevent more tragedies – the Senate is still on vacation.

We need 30,000 people to sign our petition right now to demand senators come back to Washington to pass universal background checks immediately – before the next tragedy rips another community apart, and before we have another new heartbreaking reason to demand change.

Please click here right now to urge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to end the Senate's August break and call an emergency session to pass universal background checks before more precious lives are lost to preventable gun violence.

Sign the Petition

It's too late for the people murdered in El Paso, Dayton, Parkland, Las Vegas, Orlando, Newtown and other communities across the country that have already been devastated by gun violence. But it's not too late to prevent the next tragedy.

We have to push as hard as we can, right now, in this critical moment. Thank you for helping advocate for meaningful change.
