I want to be direct with you about where things stand right now.

This year has been hard for nonprofits across the board, and, unfortunately, we’re no exception.

Here’s the situation: We need to raise $150,000 by midnight on Dec. 31 to keep key programs on track, and we’re not there yet. I wish I could say this was just about hitting a number, but the stakes are higher than that.

If we can’t close the gap soon, I’ll have to make some tough calls about potentially scaling back our organizing work, pressing pause on our powerful Deadly By Design storytelling project, or cutting back on our work to hold lawmakers accountable when they vote against public safety.

The good news is that if everyone reading this donates what they can—whether that’s $10 or $10,000—we’ll close the gap. It’s that simple.

Will you make an end-of-year donation of $25 or whatever amount matches your ability and values? Every dollar will go toward keeping our programs on track so we can end gun violence in Pennsylvania.

Together, we've won massive investments in community-based violence intervention programs. We’ve passed legislation to disarm abusers. We’ve built a robust community that includes faith leaders, doctors, nurses, parents, and survivors to demand a life free from gun violence.

Gun homicides in Pennsylvania have dropped drastically over the last two years, in large part because of policy wins we secured together. But too many people are still dying each year. 

We can’t afford to lose momentum now, friend. As the Trump administration continues to roll back progress by cutting deals with the gun lobby, defunding community violence prevention and survivor support programs, and reinterpreting the law to allow more illegal guns on the streets, we need to accelerate the progress we're making in Pennsylvania.

If you’ve been thinking about donating to support our lifesaving advocacy and organizing in Pennsylvania, I’m asking you to do it today. Please make an end-of-year donation now.

Every gift gets us closer to a future with more birthdays, more graduations, and fewer funerals.

Thank you,

Adam Garber
