I want to introduce you to the new Youth Advisor to our Board of Directors, Cayla Waddington.

You may already know Cayla as a brilliant gun violence prevention advocate who frequently shares her story at our events. In fact, I feel confident saying that she was one of the most rousing speakers at our Advocacy Day in Harrisburg on May 7.

If you missed out, here’s some of what she said: “CeaseFirePA has decided to vote me onto their board because unfortunately, they recognize that gun violence has its largest toll on youth. At a time when I was supposed to be planning for prom, getting ready to graduate, and preparing myself for college, I had to spend [my senior] year fearing for my life and fighting to change the system that allows gun violence to permeate every facet of my community.”

Thanks to donors like you, we are able to uplift youth advocates like Cayla and expand the capacity of our board. But as we close this fiscal year and head into a new one, I have to ask you to dig a little deeper. Will you contribute $35 to help us continue investing in youth engagement so we can train the next generation of gun safety advocates?

In the next few months, we’re going to be ramping up all of our efforts to educate voters about what’s at stake in the fall elections. Lawmakers have already made their choice – to stand up for community safety or to bend the knee before the gun lobby. Now it’s the voters’ turn to choose, and many of our youth advocates, like Cayla, will either be voting for the first time this year or will be motivating others to vote for gun safety champions.

We need your help amplifying the voices of youth leaders who have been impacted by gun violence in their communities. These advocates bring a fresh, and all too real, perspective to our fight to eradicate gun violence in Pennsylvania. They are ready to demand change from our lawmakers, and we are ready to keep elevating their platform and their call to action. Will you join us in the wings with a $35 contribution today?
