Hi-

A new working paper by researchers at Stanford University reveals something chilling: pro-gun PACs—like the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America—increase contributions to candidates in competitive races by 30.2% in the wake of fatal school shootings within their district. Those contributions soar to 1,730% if the shooting happens within 2 months of election day.

Why? Because the gun lobby knows that public outrage puts their grip on lawmakers at risk. So when families are mourning and communities are demanding change, they flood candidates with cash to maintain their influence.

We can't let them buy silence.

Everytown is fighting back—by holding the gun lobby and industry accountable, electing Gun Sense Candidates who refuse to be bought, and pushing for life-saving legislation in the wake of tragedy. But to keep up the fight in the face of this coordinated spending, we need you with us. So, make a donation to the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund today and show the gun lobby their money can't silence this movement.

While we're demanding action to end gun violence, they're spending millions to keep lawmakers silent and protect their deadly agenda. That's why your support matters now more than ever.

We're up against a well-funded machine—and we need to match their influence with grassroots people-power.

So, chip in now to help Everytown secure a future free from gun violence.

Thank you for being a part of this movement.
