John,

Today marks two years since the tragic mass shooting in Monterey Park,
California, a predominantly Asian American community.

Just after the town celebrated at a Lunar New Year festival, gunfire broke
out and eleven people were killed. Nine more were injured and the
community was forever changed.  

What should’ve been a night of joyful celebration turned into a lifetime
of trauma and fear. This is the horrifying effect of gun violence. 

Until we live in a country that prioritizes our safety ahead of the gun
lobby’s profits, we will continue to live in fear that at any moment,
something like this could happen to someone we love. Our fight must
continue. 

Last year, we fought for and won SB 2 and AB 28 in California, laws that
strengthen California's gun safety and will go a long way toward
preventing mass shootings like the one in Monterey Park. 

Thanks to our collective efforts, CA banned firearms in public spaces,
enhanced safety training for permit-holders, created a firearm tax to
raise more than $160 million annually for gun violence intervention
programs, and so much more.

It was a monumental victory, but our work is far from finished.

We cherish the memories of those who passed and honor their lives with
action.

In solidarity, 

March For Our Lives
