Dear John,
Thanks to BIPOC organizers, activists on the ground, and supporters like you, we helped drive the largest youth voter turnout in HISTORY.
During the 2020 Gun Safety Forum [[link removed]] , Kamala Harris' advice for us was to not ask for permission to lead -- so we won't. We've more than earned our seat at the table, and now it's time for the Biden-Harris administration to follow through on their promises to center the voices of survivors and advocates.
We just made our first set of demands public and want to share our plans with you. We're calling on President-elect Biden to create two new positions that will respond to the urgent needs of the young people who got them elected.
*
A
National
Director
of
Gun
Violence
Prevention
,
who
will
report
directly
to
the
President
and
will
lead
a
committee
tasked
with
recommending
survivor-centered
reforms
that
reflect
what
gun
violence
has
become
in
this
country
--
a
public
health
crisis
that
disproportionately
affects
our
most
vulnerable
populations.
The
Director
should
be
tasked
with
empowering
federal
agencies
that
have
been
weakened
by
the
NRA
and
the
gun
lobby
--
like
the
ATF,
CDC,
and
more.
And
they
should
oversee
a
$1B
investment
in
funding
for
research
and
community-based
gun
violence
prevention
programming.
*
A
Director
of
Youth
Engagement
,
preferably
a
member
of
Gen-Z,
who
will
sit
on
the
Domestic
Policy
Council
and
advise
the
President
and
senior
officials
on
issues
that
are
affecting
young
folks
across
the
country.
Our voices make the difference, and we deserve to have a direct hand in the policies that affect us. You can read more about our positions in CNN [[link removed]] .

This is just the beginning. With the right people in place, we can enact life-saving policies. Our goal has always been to end gun violence in this country. We said that we would hold the new administration accountable, and that's exactly what we plan to do.
It's time to get to work.
Thanks for all your support,
Eve Levenson
Policy & Government Affairs Manager
