21 Thanksgivings without my mom - we must put an end to gun violence. Match my gift

[link removed]

Friend, 20 years ago, my mother was shot and killed. My dad was shot, too, and thankfully, he survived. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her. But around the holidays, it hits the hardest.

I can still picture her laughter filling the kitchen and her joy bringing the family together. But every year at the Thanksgiving table, there's one chair that will never be filled again.

That loss changed everything for me. It's why I joined Brady, and it's why I continue to fight — to make sure no one has to bear an empty seat at their table because of gun violence. But right now, we're up against an administration that's doing everything it can to roll back progress — and your support is more important than ever.

Will you donate to Brady now to ensure no other family has to grieve the missing seats at their table this holiday season and beyond? Thanks to a generous donor, your gift will be doubled, up to $200,000.

From dismantling the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to cutting funding for community programs and siding with the gun lobby over American lives, it's clear that the current administration has no interest in solving the gun violence crisis. In fact, they're making it worse and placing more lives in harm's way every day.

We cannot let that continue.

My mother's memory — and the memories of countless others lost to gun violence — deserves nothing less than our unwavering commitment to this fight, friend. Together, we can protect the progress we've made, fight back against the gun lobby, and save lives — so fewer families have to spend Thanksgiving missing someone they love. Please, donate now and double your impact in this fight against gun violence.

Thank you for making a difference that counts this holiday season.
