Here's everything our gun violence prevention movement's been up to.

Hi–

Our movement's been nonstop this month as we sprint towards Election Day. Read on to find out what we've been up to and how you can get involved:

Take Action

There are just five days left to cast your vote for Gun Sense Candidates up and down your ballot.

We're not voting for just one leader—we're voting for our safety, for our right to live without fear, and for a future free from gun violence.

Make sure you—and your friends and family—are ready to vote. Make your plan to vote, find your polling place, and browse Gun Sense Candidates near you.


From the Field: Moms Demand Action

A large group of Moms Demand Action volunteers in red shirts hold up a "Moms Demand Action" banner.

We're pulling out all the stops to get out the vote in these last five days.

This weekend, we're organizing Weekend of Action events all across the country to mobilize voters and defeat gun extremism at the polls. Join us November 1-3 at an event near you.


From the Field: Students Demand Action

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens in the United States, and we can't afford to elect more lawmakers who are beholden to the gun lobby. We're paying for it with our lives.

Join other student volunteers working to elect Gun Sense Candidates at an upcoming Students Demand Action phone banking shift.


Courts & Litigation

Ghost guns are unserialized, untraceable firearms that can be easily put together in minutes from parts acquired without a background check.

For years, public safety advocates, gun violence survivors, top legal experts, law enforcement, elected officials, and more fought to confirm that ghost guns are subject to regulation for what they are: deadly firearms. But this progress now hangs in the balance of the Supreme Court.

This month, the Court heard oral arguments in Garland v. VanDerStok, a case determining whether kits for assembling ghost guns will be regulated like any other deadly firearms. Learn more about what's at stake in Garland v. VanDerStok.

Gun safety is a winning issue at the ballot box—and we're proving it seat by seat in communities across the country.

"I get to travel all across this country and meet with our volunteers and partners and candidates running up and down the ballot, and there are so many people that are not running away from this issue but running on it and actually winning," said Angela Ferrell-Zabala, executive director of Moms Demand Action. "This is a priority for many folks."

Research Corner

Gun stores with lax security are arming criminals. On average, gun stores report five incidents of theft or loss of firearms each day. And unlike laws that govern other industries, there are no federal laws requiring gun stores to undertake any measures to secure their inventory.

We're demanding gun stores secure their stores and make it harder for criminals to steal guns.

Read the new "Smoking Gun" report to learn how gun stores with weak security are putting our communities at risk.


Good News!
