John, I'll never forget what gun violence took from me. Twenty years ago, my mother was shot and killed, and every day since has been a painful reminder of her absence. That loss is why I joined Brady, why I keep fighting — and why I'm writing to you today.

To truly honor victims like my mom and to counter the ongoing attacks on gun violence prevention, we need a powerful, sustained movement. We're up against an administration that doesn't care about loved ones lost to gun violence nor about the lives we can still save. That's why we need your help now, more than ever, to power this movement for the American people. 

The Trump administration has already dismantled the Office of Gun Violence Prevention, is defunding hundreds of millions from community violence intervention programs, and is literally tearing down memorials to victims of gun violence. In order to stop more heinous affronts, we need consistent support from people like you, John. Right now, we're missing your recurring gift — I hope you'll consider making a monthly donation today.

The truth is we need you in this fight, John. The battles ahead are going to be relentless — especially with Trump's extremist allies already working to tear down hard-fought progress, slash ATF funding, and silence survivors. 

We can't afford to let them win. Not now, not ever. With your monthly support, we can keep up the pressure, fight back in court and in Congress, and ensure no one else has to endure the heartbreak that families like mine live with every day.

We're counting on 100 caring people like you to step up and keep this work going. Please, rush your recurring donation now to become one of them and power this work well into the future.

Thank you for supporting us.
