John,

I want to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support of the Alliance. You’ve stood with us through every challenge, victory, and step forward in our fight to prevent gun violence. Today, I’m reaching out not just to thank you but to share how, together, we are making an impact and why your continued support is more crucial than ever.

Last night, as millions of Americans watched the final evening of the Democratic National Convention, we witnessed something truly historic. Survivors of gun violence—ordinary people who have faced unimaginable loss and trauma—took the stage and courageously shared their stories. They spoke with a power that resonated across the nation, reminding us all of the human toll of gun violence and the urgent need for change.

Lucy McBath reminded us of the power of our movement, "Our stories are stories of loss, but make no mistake, our losses do not weaken us. They strengthen our resolve.”
Edgar Vilchez shared his experience and motivated us with action, “They say schools are for learning and I did learn a lot that day. I learned how to run, how to hide and drop that what happens in the news can happen to me but I learned something else too that we can write and must write a new story if we choose to.”
Melody McFadden inspired us to continue fighting for justice everyday, “10 years of waiting and Sandy’s murder is still unsolved. I’ll keep calling, and I’ll keep fighting.”

Will you stand with us to amplify survivors' stories and call for action with a donation of $25 or $50 today?

These are the voices of our movement—the voices that you, through your generosity, have empowered. Your support has helped survivors find their strength, share their stories, and become leaders in the fight for a safer future.

But our work is far from over. The stories shared last night were a critical reminder of the stakes we face. Every day, gun violence devastates communities across our nation, tearing apart families and leaving a trail of pain and suffering. Yet, with every dollar you donate, every hour you volunteer, and every time you speak out, you are helping to bring us closer to the day when no one has to live in fear of gun violence.

Please, be part of the solution and give $25 today so we can continue the fight to keep our schools and communities safe. We cannot do this work without your support.

You are a cornerstone of this movement. Your dedication has fueled our progress, and with your continued partnership, we can—and will—achieve lasting change. This is a marathon, not a sprint, and we need steadfast supporters like you to see it through.

As we look to the future, I invite you to reaffirm your commitment to the Alliance and our shared mission. Consider increasing your support, whether through a one-time donation, an increase in your recurring gift, or by becoming more involved in our advocacy efforts. Every action you take moves us closer to the day when gun violence is a thing of the past.

Can we count on you to chip in $25, $50, or even $100 today to ensure we have the resources needed to continue the fight against gun violence?

Thank you, John, for believing in this cause, for standing with survivors, and for being a champion of change. Together, we are making a difference, and together, we will create a future free from gun violence.

With heartfelt gratitude,
