John,
In 2020, President Biden campaigned on taking real action to address the
nation’s gun violence epidemic.
Since then, we’ve seen the passage of the most comprehensive gun safety
bill passed in three decades AND the creation of the first-ever, White
House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
Over the past year, the office has been instrumental in driving real
progress toward realizing an America free from gun violence. The creation
of this office has marshaled federal resources toward tackling the issue
of gun violence prevention head on.
But this office is under threat,
John. If Donald Trump wins in
November, we can expect to not only see this vital office disbanded, but a
full reversal of the hard-fought progress we've made in reducing gun
violence in these last few years.
That is unacceptable to us and that’s why we’re fighting in tandem with
our allies to ensure that the OGVP will continue serving the American
people.
But we need your support in this fight right now. [ [link removed] ]Can you donate

By bringing together different stakeholders in communities across the
country, the OGVP has created tools and strategies to assist communities
when gun violence happens.
The OGVP has also brought needed attention to the lack of red-flag laws —
laws that permit state courts to temporarily seize firearms from those
deemed to be danger to themselves and others.
In just over a year since the office was first created, we’ve gone from 5
states with red flags to 15 thanks to the important work of the OGVP.
This isn't about politics,
John — it's about saving
lives.
But even with a Harris/Walz victory this November, we know we’re still
going to have a long way to go!
Historically, the federal government hasn’t done nearly enough to protect
us from the threat of gun violence, but the progress that the OGVP has
made in just over a year gives us hope for the road ahead.
[ [link removed] ]Help us turn that hope into action by splitting a donation of
$5 or any amount you can between March For Our Lives Action
Fund, Giffords, Everytown for Gun Safety, and Moms Demand Action today.
