Dear John,

This week has brought moments of hope—signs that change is possible and that our collective work is making a difference. Still, what 2026 may hold feels uncertain. But there are a few things we can count on.

First, we know that people like you will continue standing up for a more peaceful future. We know you will not stop advocating for gun violence prevention policies or for the safety of your family and your neighbors. 

We also know that, in Wisconsin, we are on the brink of change. This year, in Madison, we saw more bipartisan cooperation on gun violence prevention policies than we have in over a decade, and we’re poised to win even more as long as folks like you and I stay engaged and determined. 

Help us make the most of this giving season. Giving Tuesday is December 2nd, and it is one of our most important fundraising days of the year. All donations we receive for Giving Tuesday will be matched by generous donors, so mark your calendars now! 

My coworkers and I are determined to seize the opportunities next year brings. We’re building strategies for the coming year, to ensure that gun violence prevention receives the spotlight it deserves. Help us go big by contributing. 

I’m so grateful that, no matter what happens next, I know I can count on you. 

With determination,

Nick Matuszewski

Associate Executive Director
