In the U.S., it’s just another weekend
John,
Over the weekend, a slew of shootings occurred in cities across the United States. But in a country where gun violence has become so normalized, these shootings barely broke headlines.
At least four people were killed and eight others injured in a shooting at a church in Grand Blanc Township, MI .
In Southport, NC , a gunman armed with a semi-automatic, short-barreled rifle killed three people and injured eight more.
Four people were shot in Raleigh, NC . Four others were shot in Alexandria, LA . Two people were shot and killed at a casino in Eagle Pass, TX .
In any other country, one mass shooting would be cause enough for leaders to take action and stop the violence once and for all. We’ve seen it happen in Austria, Norway, and Australia. Yet, in our country, numerous mass shootings in only one weekend find lawmakers silent, idle, and continuing to let our citizens be gunned down.
We cannot accept this violence, John. Will you call on lawmakers to take action to end gun violence and protect Americans? [[link removed]]

Mass shootings have infected all parts of American life, becoming synonymous with grocery shopping, going to the movies, or even going to church. Tragedy after tragedy has happened in spaces and in communities that were once thought to be safe.
The cognitive dissonance of our lawmakers is disturbing, John. As a gun violence survivor, witnessing this continual tragedy is what drives me to fight each day and prevent more people from feeling the acute grief of losing a loved one to gun violence like I do. Because the harsh reality is that nowhere in America is safe as long as the gun violence epidemic rages on.
This isn’t just one deadly weekend. This is every single day in America.
Daily death tolls from gun violence do not have to be our normal, John. But it will take all of us, together, to change our country as we know it. We need to push our lawmakers to take action to protect us, in states and Congress, and stop the NRA's 'guns everywhere' agenda – please, speak out today and demand change: [[link removed]]
