I’m about to ask you for $15 to help my organization Leaders We Deserve and BAWN elect young leaders who are dedicated to banning assault weapons and finally ending gun violence in this country. But first, please let me explain why. >>

Six years ago, my world turned upside down when a gunman with a military-grade assault weapon stormed my high school, shooting 34 people and killing 17 kids and educators.

In the wake of the Parkland shooting, young people like myself were determined to do something about this injustice.

Alongside other survivors and family members affected by the shooting, we did what many said was impossible:

– We passed gun safety laws in Florida, a state notoriously owned by the gun lobby
– We passed over over 100 gun laws in state legislatures nationwide
– We passed the first federal gun law in 30 years

But there’s still so much work to do:

– 2023 was one of the deadliest year for mass shootings in a decade
– Last year, Senate Republicans BLOCKED a vote on gun safety measures, including an assault weapons ban
– Even after over 400 mass shootings in 2024, 55 Senators still refuse to co-sponsor the assault weapons ban

That’s why my organization, Leaders We Deserve, and BAWN are partnering to elect young gun safety champions up and down the ballot who have the guts to fight for our communities.

I KNOW we can elect a wave of young leaders to Congress and State Legislatures nationwide, but only if we have the resources to take on the gun lobby’s deep pockets. We urgently need to raise $8,000 before midnight. Missing this crucial goal would be a devastating setback in our fight to ban assault weapons. Can I count on your $15? The more you give, the more goes to electing young gun safety leaders from coast to coast. >>

Leaders We Deserve and BAWN are working tirelessly to elect young gun safety candidates dedicated to passing critical gun safety reforms.

Because the harsh reality is: We'll never end mass shootings if we don't rid our country of the assault weapons that enable them – and elect leaders who are willing to do it.

I can’t tell you how much it would mean to us to hit this goal.

It would mean we’re one step closer to preventing what happened in Parkland and Pulse from ever happening again.

It would mean a real chance to finally make our schools, nightclubs, movie theaters, houses of worship, and grocery stores safer.

It would mean the tides are turning against those who would put their profits over our lives.

Put simply, it would make all the difference in the world.

So I’m personally asking: Every dollar you donate will go directly towards helping Leaders We Deserve recruit, support, and fund young champions running for office up and down the ballot. Will you chip in $15 now to help us clinch goal? It would mean so much to me to have your support. >>

Chip in $15 now >> Chip in $25 now >> Chip in $50 now >> Chip in $100 now >> Chip in another amount now >>

Thanks for standing with me,
