This can’t wait, John: This weekend, members of the Proud Boys, a white supremacist group, gathered in Portland in a show of power and intimidation against Black Lives Matter and antiracist activists.

Some wore shirts and held signs honoring the 17-year-old gunman who was charged with murdering two Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha, WI. Many were armed with multiple firearms, including AR-15s.

This isn't an isolated event. Across the country, fair-right hate groups are being emboldened by Donald Trump to take advantage of lax gun laws and incite fear and violence. 

Let’s be clear: Hate and bigotry should not be armed. But our nation's weak gun laws — coupled with a President who calls upon his base to take up arms against their political opponents — is putting us all at risk. We're seeing record-level gun violence in cities across America, with unprecedented civil unrest.

We’re fighting back with everything we have at Brady. We know that white supremacist violence poses a lethal threat, and it is not who we are as a country. It’s time we push back and demand our legislators fight hate and take action ensure that those who intend to cause harm are never able to obtain guns. But we need to know you’re by our side on this critical issue, John:

Since 2011, there have been 17 white-supremacist-led mass shootings, from Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, to Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania — but Mitch McConnell has stonewalled EVERY piece of legislation that could help keep our communities safer from mass shootings. McConnell has proven time and again that he’s in the pocket of the NRA and will stop at nothing to prevent common-sense bipartisan gun safety legislation from passing.

That’s why we need top supporters like you to speak out on this vital issue. Our voices are stronger together. But we’re still 12 responses short from your area and your name is missing! We can’t keep this petition open past 11:59 p.m., so please add your name now:

Add your name to condemn white supremacy and demand Congress take action to stop hateful gun violence!
