Everytown statement on President Biden’s latest announcement:

John–

Today, President Biden announced that he is suspending his presidential bid.

For decades, President Biden has championed the gun violence prevention movement, and he's cemented his legacy as the strongest gun safety president in our history.

But the Trump-Vance ticket threatens to roll back any and all bipartisan progress on gun safety, as well as so much other progress that we have made during the Biden Administration.

Yet this is not a moment for hopelessness, this is a moment to demand action.

We find ourselves in an unprecedented moment in history once again, so if you're feeling lost, powerless, or hopeless, here are three quick and easy ways to take action today:

  1. Check your registration to vote
  2. Sign up for a voter mobilization phonebank shift that fits into your schedule
  3. Forward this email to three friends

We are dedicated to creating a future free from gun violence—and one critical piece of this vision is electing leaders who take our gun violence crisis seriously—that means we're all in on defeating the Trump-Vance ticket.

We're grateful for the Biden/Harris Administration's fearless leadership on gun safety and will do everything in our power between now and Election Day to keep building on this life-saving progress.

Thank you for being with us in this fight, we can't do this work without you!
