John–

I just got back from Gun Sense University, our annual convening of
volunteers and survivors from all across the gun violence prevention
movement.

GSU is a special opportunity to come together and celebrate our movement's
progress, learn from each other, and plan our work ahead.

[ [link removed] ]Join a Moms Demand Action or Students Demand Action chapter in your
community to help us build a future free from gun violence.

This year we gathered in Washington, D.C. to hold our first-ever Hill Day,
where volunteers met with federal lawmakers from all 50 states to demand
they act to end our gun violence crisis.

Our message to Congress was clear: We can't afford for them to sit idly by
while more than 120 people are shot and killed every single day.

We're counting on our lawmakers to ban assault weapons, defend our
progress on strengthening background checks, and hold the gun industry
accountable for profiting from our bloodshed.

volunteer speak.

This year's GSU featured some very special guests: survivors of gun
violence, local lawmakers, community partners, Michigan Governor Gretchen
Whitmer, and the President of the United States.

Sense University.

And we celebrated and reflected on all the progress we've made. Our
movement has made huge strides: enacting the first major gun legislation
in nearly 30 years, defeating hundreds of gun lobby-backed bills, and
taking on the gun industry.

of the Gun Sense University stage.

And we won't stop until we end this crisis.

We'll be in State Capitols, on gun manufacturers' doorsteps, and in your
community fighting for action. [ [link removed] ]Join us: Volunteer with a Moms or
Students Demand Action chapter near you.

Thank you for being in this fight. I'm hopeful about the future of this
movement because of you.
