Hi John — Steve Kerr here, with an urgent update:
|
|
|
An administration beholden to the gun lobby has tried to halt or undo our progress toward ending gun violence in 2025, but Brady refused to let the inaction of elected officials slow down our fight.
|
|
Instead, your support meant we could focus our efforts on securing major wins for safer schools and communities in the courts. And to help us carry that momentum into the new year, generous donors have promised to DOUBLE all gifts — but only until Friday at midnight.
|
|
Brady relies on support from activists like you, [[firstname]], more than ever, to keep powering life-saving wins nationwide: While the 2X FLASH MATCH is active, will you please give $25 or more now to double your power in the fight to end gun violence?
|

By taking on gun rights extremists in court, Brady has repeatedly shown that our movement is a relentless opponent in the fight to save lives. Here are just a few ways Brady moved the needle in 2025:
|
- Brady won the largest-ever verdict against a gun dealer in U.S. history, when a jury awarded the city of Baltimore $62 million in damages after the gun dealer flooded the streets with untraceable ghost guns — Brady's Affirmative Litigation Team set a historic precedent to ensure consequences for bad actors who capitalize on crime to feed their bottom line;
|
- Helped secure a Supreme Court decision upholding a Biden-era requirement for ghost gun kits and parts to be regulated as traditional firearms, ensuring law enforcement can continue cracking down on dangerous weapons — and effectively taking the rule off the Trump administration's reckless chopping block;
|
- Secured another UNANIMOUS Supreme Court ruling against a doctrine that shielded police from accountability for unreasonably using firearms against civilians, which will hold more officers to account for unduly resorting to the kind of deadly force that erodes trust and endangers communities;
|
- Aided New York in defending a first-of-its-kind state law to hold the gun industry accountable in federal appeals court, ensuring survivors and communities impacted by gun violence will be able to seek justice for harms caused by the actions or inaction of gun dealers and manufacturers.
|
|
With your support, Brady's legal team is proving that the courts are one of the mightiest tools we have against the gun violence epidemic — even as the NRA, the gun lobby, and Trump-loyalist lawmakers work to undermine the will of the people and roll back hard-fought progress.
|
|
As someone who personally knows what it's like to lose a loved one to gun violence, I'll never give in. And with limited time for your gift to go TWICE as far toward Brady's $50,000 goal to power more life-saving wins like these in 2026, neither can you.
|
|
So please, John, join us in the fight by pitching in $25 or the best gift you can make now to have it DOUBLE-MATCHED before the Friday night deadline.
|
|
|
|
This movement is powered by people — our supporters, the memory of those we've lost, and the communities we protect. Thank you for choosing to be a part of it.
