More than 70.

John, that's how many women are shot and killed by an intimate
partner every month in the United States.

That's more than 70 mothers and daughters, sisters and best friends,
cousins and colleagues taken from the world too soon every single month.

Each of these lives are woven tightly into the fabric of their families
and our communities. The traumatic ripple effects of guns in the hands of
abusive partners affect all of us—children who witness or live with it and
the family members, coworkers, and law enforcement officers who respond to
it.

This October, for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and every other month
of the year, it is critical that we draw attention to this crisis
impacting so many families across the country. We know that a woman is
five times more likely to be killed by an abusive intimate partner if they
have access to a gun—but we also know that even if a gun is present in the
home, keeping it securely stored can prevent unintentional shootings and
delay access by someone who wishes to harm themselves and others.

As Executive Director of Moms Demand Action, I'm privileged to witness
first-hand the work our network of volunteers is doing to prevent domestic
violence—through educating communities about the importance of secure
storage, supporting community violence intervention programs, and helping
pass laws ensuring domestic abusers do not have access to firearms.

Gun safety advocates like you are working, right now, to prevent more
senseless tragedies. [ [link removed] ]Join them to help create a safer world for your
