One thing is for sure, John: The once mighty NRA is on its last legs.
What once appeared to be an unstoppable force in American politics, the NRA has seen a mass exodus of over one million members, corruption charges, and millions of dollars in legal fees — meanwhile their overall revenue dropped 52% since 2016.
A former top NRA official told The New York Times: "The NRA is little more than a shell of itself."
I firmly believe that the NRA’s days are numbered—but I also know that the gun lobby is scrambling to keep their influence in Congress by pouring money into the NRA’s replacements.
When I see these headlines, John, I know our work is far from done.
With or without the NRA, as long as there are corrupt, purchased politicians in Congress, the gun lobby will buy their votes and strike down any chance we have for common sense gun reform.
But, if we elect a new generation of bold, courageous leaders who aren’t afraid to take urgent, necessary action, we can stop the scourge of gun violence in America and block the gun lobby’s agenda.
Leaders We Deserve and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee are already playing an integral role in electing the next generation of leaders to state legislatures across the country and we’re counting on your continued support so we can keep winning from now to Election Day.
This cycle, Leaders We Deserve and the PCCC have endorsed dozens of candidates for the 2024 election. We are training these candidates and helping their campaigns reach as many voters as possible. Every dollar helps us support these grassroots campaigns where the difference between winning and losing could be as little as a few hundred votes – and sometimes even less than that.
Together, with your support, we can give the school shooting generation a voice in public office to pass the gun reform laws we need, end mass shootings, and counter the gun lobby’s agenda.
But our success depends on grassroots donors like you, chipping in what they can, when they can. So if you can, please chip in a split donation between Leaders We Deserve and the PCCC today.
