John,

We witnessed an incredibly violent weekend. First, there was a shooting at Brown University where a gunman killed two students, and injured nine others. The search for the shooter is now entering the third day.

There have been at least 75 school shootings this year alone.

Then later in the weekend, two shooters opened fire on a Hanukkah event at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Over a dozen people were killed and over 40 were injured.

The Australian Prime Minister has already announced a tightening of their gun laws. Our President said “things can happen” in response to Brown.

This response from our president is pathetic. We cannot accept this violence as normal, and we cannot give up in the face of meaningless, horrific gun violence.

We’re living in a time where students who survived the Brown shooting are now two-time school shooting survivors. That fact makes me unbelievably sad for this country, for our children, and for us as Americans.

But we cannot allow ourselves to be disillusioned. Change is possible – Australia did it immediately, and we can too if we keep up the fight.

We have the opportunity to pass gun violence prevention measures (like my assault weapons ban) that would save lives and protect people – and we must remain laser-focused on these solutions, no matter how difficult they are.

The violence must end, and this fight is personal for me.

We cannot continue to allow Republicans to write the narrative about gun violence, and we can’t allow them to continue to do nothing as the body count rises.

I’m still fighting for my assault weapons ban among other things – and I hope you’re with me. If you are, and you want to stop seeing news about senseless violence, please consider contributing to my gun violence prevention movement now. [[link removed]]

In solidarity,
Lucy
