John -- I'm really looking forward to our gun safety video chat event tomorrow afternoon with Parkland Dad Fred Guttenberg and Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts. With this week's news, it could not come at a more critical time for gun violence in America. We'll be discussing where we go from here and more on tomorrow's virtual event at 2 PM EST. RSVP now to get in on the conversation » [[link removed]]
You're probably already following the Ahmaud Arbery shooting closely if you're in Georgia like many folks on this email list, but for those of you in other states, the story really started making headline news this week when an explicit video of the shooting of yet another unarmed black man was released by the national media. It brought immediate comparisons to 2012, with the killing of Travyvon Martin, and of my son Jordan Davis. Folks on a wide spectrum of political views have spoken out lamenting the killing this week. It's another inflection point, and our gun safety movement needs to be ready to act.
Like in Jordan's case, we need the judicial system to do the right thing here and get justice for Ahmaud's family. But we can not let this kind of thing keep happening in America -- full stop. Unarmed black men can not keep being gunned down in their cars, at a gas station, because they wanted a bag of skittles and an Arizona iced tea, or while jogging in their neighborhood. Our kids must be able to attend school without the threat of being gunned down. So, I hope you'll join us for our gun safety video chat tomorrow at 2pm -- I'm eager to discuss how our gun safety movement goes forward from here to continue to make changes in Congress and across the country that work towards our goal of common sense solutions to end gun violence.
