John,
Today, we are launching our GIVE MORE TO END GUN VIOLENCE campaign—and the moment couldn't be more urgent.
As we approach the beginning of summer, more families are celebrating their children's educational milestones. But lately, we've witnessed a harrowing uptick in gun violence erupting at graduation ceremonies across the country. If students can't even graduate without the threat of being shot, then it's clear we have more work to do.

The stakes are high. Just a few days ago, the Supreme Court overturned the federal ban on bump stocks—a deadly device that effectively converts assault weapons into machine guns and was used to kill 60 people and wound at least 411 more in 2017 in Las Vegas—our country's deadliest mass shooting.
So, if not to help us continue to fight tooth and nail to keep these deadly weapons out of our communities, then why else should you GIVE MORE? Because…
- We need MORE students who can experience safe graduations and fewer politicians who refuse to protect our kids from gun violence in their schools.
- We need MORE safe 4th of July parades and fewer shootings in places our families gather to celebrate, worship, and shop.
- We need MORE gun sense lawmakers at the federal, state, and local levels and fewer allies of the gun lobby willing to push its danerous "guns everywhere" agenda that endangers the lives of people we care about.
- And, we need MORE supporters like you who care about stopping gun violence to make a donation that will be matched right now!
Will you be part of this important campaign? Donate now and your gift will be matched, $1-for-$1.
Here's how we'll put your donation to impactful use!
- We are training and providing ongoing support to thousands of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers and survivors of gun violence to effectively organize for the crucial work ahead in 2024—including electing Gun Sense Candidates up and down the ballot. Many of these volunteers have just attended our annual training conference, Gun Sense University, and are primed for action.
- We are shining a light on gun extremists in Congress who are attacking a life-saving rule that expands background checks and holding them accountable for trying to stop our progress toward gun safety.
- We are tracking bad "guns everywhere" bills in statehouses across the country—like permitless carry and bills to arm school teachers—and making strategic plans to defeat them.
John, we've got a lot of work to do. As we all come together to celebrate and enjoy what summer has to offer, we must DO MORE to end gun violence. And right now, before the clock strikes midnight on June 30th, your donation to this important work will be MATCHED to double your impact. Please don't miss this opportunity to GIVE MORE.
Thank you for your generosity,
