We are less than one month away from the most consequential election of our lives and we must take action to protect our democracy from the threat of gun violence before it's too late. Will you sign onto Brady's urgent petition calling on Congress to BAN guns at polling places?

Tell Congress: No guns at the polls

ADD YOUR NAME >>

Friend,

With the election less than a month away, it is mor important than ever to protect our democratic institutions from the threat of gun violence.

Political violence should not be a normal occurence in our country, yet it has become all too common while lawmakers refuse to take action to address easy access to weapons of war and other deadly loopholes in our gun laws.

Our country is founded on democracy and at the heart of democracy lies principles of fairness and freedom – that should include the fundamental freedom to live our lives without the fear of being shot.

Friend, let me make one thing absolutely clear: Guns have no place in our democracy.

It's more important than ever to ensure our polling places remain free from suppression and fear. Our democracy works best when every voter feels safe and empowered. Voting is meant to be an act of hope – NOT fear – and with your help, we can make that a reality nationwide.

Friend, time is running out: If you agree that our political systems should be free from the threat of gun violence, add your name to our urgent call to Congress: Keep Americans safe and ban guns from polling places. >>

The threat that guns have on our democracy is all too familiar to those of us at Brady. We are named for Jim Brady, Ronald Reagan’s press secretary, who was shot in the assassination attempt on the president in 1981. Brady, a Republican, then dedicated his life to working to end gun violence in the country. It was an inflection point in the gun violence prevention movement, which spawned the background check system that is still in effect today.

But the truth is that in a country where guns are valued more highly than human lives, everyone is at risk. And easy access to firearms only enhances the dangers that gun violence poses to our political system.

From 1981 to 2024, guns have continued to threaten the sanctity of our political systems and unless we take action to protect our democracy and American lives from gun violence, we will keep living in fear. If you agree that guns have no place in our democracy, add your name to Brady’s urgent petition now and make your voice heard:

It is up to all Americans, across political parties, to come together and fight the threat that gun violences poses to our critically important democratic processes.

Thank you for taking action today, friend.
