Wow, John: it's amazing to see how far we've come together in our fight for gun safety. A few days ago, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer said that our team has "turned the tables" on the NRA in Washington State. 

For decades, just like they did across the country, the NRA ruled gun politics in Washington and stopped meaningful reform – but the relentless efforts of activists like you have changed the story here and now the people of Washington have a fighting chance to end the gun violence epidemic.

We know that we're building a blueprint that the rest of the nation can follow to take back power from the gun lobby. But here's the thing, John: we can celebrate this today, but the NRA is waiting patiently for us to become complacent. Now is the time for us to begin working even harder to bring commonsense gun laws to all 50 states. Please, will you give $5 right now to help us continue creating a national blueprint for saving lives from gun violence?

If the events of the past few weeks have taught us anything, it's that Americans are ready for gun reform. But we cannot think for a second that the NRA will take this lying down. 

The NRA and the legislators they have in their back pocket are counting on organizations like ours – and supporters like you – losing momentum so they can keep their stranglehold on our national politics and continue flooding our country with guns. If we don't keep pushing forward with everything we've got, they'll send us right back to where we started. Or worse. 

John, help us build on this momentum before it's too late and get the NRA and the gun lobby out of our country's politics once and for all. Please give $5 now so we can keep fighting to save lives in our communities and build a gun safety model for other states to follow. We're a grassroots organization who relies on the generous support of gun safety champions like you.

Slowly but surely, we are moving toward a safer world. Thank you for being there every step of the way – we couldn't do it without you.
