John,
As we head into a new year, many of us are thinking about resolutions, the small promises we make to ourselves to do better, live better, and try harder.
This year, I’m asking you to consider a resolution that doesn’t just change your life, but someone else’s:
Make 2026 the year you take a stand against gun violence.
Not everyone can organize a protest, speak at a hearing, or run a youth program. But every single one of us can choose not to look away.
With more mass shootings in 2025 than days in a year, every single one of us can decide to be part of the fight for a safer future.
Even when the headlines are overwhelming, even when the work is hard, we can take a stand against gun violence and say when enough is enough.
Support is the difference between an idea and a movement.
Between frustration and real change.
Between fear and a future where young people are safe.
If you’re ready to make this your resolution, please consider starting the year with a gift: secure.actblue.com/donate/mfol-em-q12026
Let’s make 2026 the year we choose action over hopelessness.
The year we stand together and refuse to give up on a safer future.
With hope,
Tess
