This weekend, a mass shooting that left at least four dead and 17 others injured barely broke headlines. We cannot accept constant mass shootings as our reality, friend , that’s why I’m asking you to send an urgent message to Congress and demand action to end our gun violence epidemic and stop the next tragedy: [[link removed]]

Friend,
Over the weekend, four people were killed and 17 others injured in a mass shooting in Birmingham, AL. What should have been a fun Saturday evening turned into hysteria, bloodshed, and loss in a community that has already suffered other mass shootings this year.
Yet, this tragedy barely made national news and even though the gunman remains at large, our focus has already shifted away from the deadly reality that grips our nation.
Mass shootings have become so commonplace in the United States that bloodshed won’t even make headlines – we cannot allow ourselves to accept constant mass shootings and loss as our reality, friend . Send an urgent message to lawmakers now and demand action to stop the next tragedy. [[link removed]]
I know what it’s like to lose a loved one to gun violence, my mom was shot and killed answering our front door just over 20 years ago. There aren’t words enough to encompass the pain of the immediate aftermath of this loss, what the community of Birmingham is feeling right now, and, even after decades, the grief does not go away. I wish that no one else had to carry this kind of burden but unfortunately, far too many know it well. It’s why I have to keep fighting, friend.
As a gun violence survivor, I can never look at a tragedy like Birmingham and ignore the desperate need for change in our country. None of us should accept this as normal – particularly our lawmakers who are supposed to protect their constituents. That’s why I’m asking you to join me in calling for action in the face of tragedy:
Friend, will you send a message to lawmakers right now and demand common sense action to address our nation’s gun violence epidemic? [[link removed]]
