Friend --

255.

Let that number sink in. 

This month we’ve suffered tragedy and lives lost in El Paso, TX and Dayton, OH and now the United States stands at a tally of 255 mass murders in just 2019 alone.

We could use this note to list out all the reasons why this type of terrorism is plaguing our communities but instead we want to focus on how to fix it and how to combat the hate that is being endorsed by this current administration.

Black women leaders like our 2018 endorsed candidate, Rep. Lucy McBath(GA-6), have been at the forefront of gun violence and gun reform for years. After losing her son Jordan to gun violence in 2012, McBath held dual roles as the national spokesperson for Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action before eventually becoming a member of Congress. 

We need more like her and we won’t stop until there are more Black women leaders who can out vote and outlaw electeds who are not willing to act and protect our families.

Contribute $255 or set up a recurring gift totaling $255 or more today to help put more Black women leaders on the frontlines of this debate and help put forth action over thoughts and prayers.

Let’s demonstrate to the NRA and those who are standing in the way to enact gun reforms to protect our communities and nation the power of card carrying members of Higher Heights to help elect Black women who will stand up against white nationalism, domestic terrorism, and all forms of hate. 

We must stand in this fight together as one unified voice to fill our democracy with Black women leaders who will continue to be ‘unbought and unbossed’.

Onward,

Glynda
