John,

In the wake of another heinous tragedy perpetrated with an assault weapon at a high school in Georgia, we at Brady are determined to turn grief into action. We must change our country and stop constant mass shootings and death. Our kids, and all Americans, deserve better.

The first 24 hours after a mass shooting are among the most critical. We cannot be numb to this. We must demand action to protect lives from gun violence now while all eyes are on this story. John, will you add your name to our urgent petition to demand Congress ban assault weapons?

Our country is failing our children: Gun violence is the number one cause of death for kids and teens. Kids shouldn't have to fear being gunned down in their schools – they should be safe and supported to learn and grow.

We won't accept thoughts and prayers from lawmakers in the wake of the murder of two innocent children and two innocent teachers at Apalachee High School. We demand action.

–Team Brady

John,

Two children and two teachers were killed with an assault rifle at school in Winder, GA. Nine more people were injured and all the children and faculty of Apalachee High School traumatized by another heinous school shooting.

This is a parent’s worst fear, sending a child to school where they are shot in their classroom and never come home. I am gripped with this very fear every day when I send my kids to school.

It’s our job as their parents – as grown ups – to protect our kids. All of our kids. And instead, we are failing them.

Our country continues to put guns over children’s lives. Politicians choose NRA blood-money and stonewalling life-saving legislation over protecting kids. No more. I won’t accept inaction from our lawmakers at the expense of mine or anyone else’s kids and I’m asking you to join me in calling for real change now.

It’s time to protect our children, not guns: Add your name to our urgent petition to Congress demanding a ban on assault weapons. >>

Demand Congress Ban Assault Weapons>>

More children should not have to die for our lawmakers to take action to end this gun violence epidemic.

I am coming to you as a Mom who fears for her kids safety at school; as an American who is ashamed of the inaction of our lawmakers; and as a gun violence survivor who knows the pain of losing a loved one to this epidemic. We cannot offer only thoughts and prayers or we risk another tragedy at a school and more children dead by gunfire. We must do something to stop this gun violence epidemic for our children’s sake. And for the sake of all Americans that we can still protect with life-saving action.

Please, John, I am counting on activists like you to demand action from lawmakers in the face of the tragedy in Georgia. Will you add your name to Brady’s urgent petition to Congress and demand an assault weapons ban? >>

Thank you for taking action to honor the senseless lives lost in this preventable school shooting.
