Friend, no one should have to run for their life at a parade.

What should have been a joyful celebration of freedom on July 4, 2022, turned into a nightmare of chaos, bloodshed, and unimaginable loss. In Highland Park, IL, families who gathered with lawn chairs and flags were forced to flee rapid gunfire from an assault weapon and plan funerals for their loved ones.

The trauma from this mass shooting persists to this day — and unfortunately, more tragedies have followed. This is the uniquely American cost of inaction.

And now, under Trump's administration, the cost is only growing. Gun lobby allies in Congress are determined to weaken gun safety laws and destroy progress we’ve fought hard for. But we cannot give up hope, friend. A different future is still possible if we keep fighting like hell for it.

That's why Brady is pushing our lawmakers harder than ever to ban assault weapons and finally protect our communities. But we need your help to do it: Will you help us reach 5,000 respondents to tell Congress to ban assault weapons in our country?

Together, we can honor the loved ones killed in the Highland Park massacre and stop the next tragedy.

Thank you.
