John, I hope you're doing well and staying safe. It's not
always easy. But every day I'm hearing remarkable examples of our
volunteers' inventiveness, resilience, and persistence. You keep me going.

When Shannon Watts started Moms Demand Action seven years ago, I wondered
how I could get involved here in Texas. Our vision was to create a
national network of communities united to end gun violence. Now, in the
face of difficult and uncertain times, we're returning to our digital
roots to ensure the continuation of our work, and most importantly, the
safety of our volunteers. [ [link removed] ]You can join them today as a member of the
Gun Sense Action Network (GSAN) to volunteer from the safety of your home.

Our GSAN volunteers are at the forefront of the campaigns that we run
across the country — making phone calls to drive action and welcome
supporters like you into the movement. Right now, we're fighting against
the NRA's fear-mongering in the face of COVID-19 and supporting community
partners to help those most impacted by the pandemic. We're also
continuing to fight gun violence throughout the country by reaching out to
voters, advocating for gun safety, and working to block harmful gun bills
and the NRA's dangerous agenda. With GSAN, you can do it all from the
comfort of your own home.

Moms Demand Action started out with digital advocacy, through Facebook
groups and video calls; for our volunteers, organizing online is our bread
and butter. We may be separated by physical distance, but we're still
finding ways to come together.

Here's a few examples of what we've been up to:

* Virtual Advocacy Days. Last month, we organized two virtual advocacy
days — one in Minnesota and one in California. We used social media to
amplify our efforts, and organized face-to-face Zoom meetings with key
legislators; in Minnesota, more than 200 activists participated!
* Local Organizing. Local Moms Demand Action chapters in all 50 states
have embraced online organizing to come together, provide trainings,
and organize activities ranging from sewing cloth face masks for
health workers to educating the community on safe storage of firearms.
* Voter Registration. The Students Demand Action volunteers have been
especially active, with many of them signing up for our online
trainings to register voters with an eye toward November.

difference, right from your living room.

Each day, we're learning more and more about how to maintain a sense of
community and meet the needs of people struggling with various sources of
stress during this pandemic. As we continue to reckon with and adjust to
our current circumstances, I urge you to take care of yourself and your
loved ones as a first priority.

Thank you for being a part of this movement. We'll get through this
together.

Sincerely,

Stephanie Lundy
State Social Media Manager
