John,

I want to make sure you saw Erica's email. I was in Washington D.C. on
this day eight years ago when 20 small children and six educators were
shot and killed at Sandy Hook School—but my family and my community were
back in Newtown, Connecticut.

That day changed the course of my life and is why I've been working for
years with Everytown and Moms Demand Action to end gun violence. We can
win this fight, but only if every one of us shows up. Can I count on you
to help make 2021 a breakthrough year for gun safety? [ [link removed] ]Take the pledge
to keep fighting with our movement next year to end gun violence.

Sincerely,

Kara Fitzgerald
Deputy National Organizing Director
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America

Dear John,

Eight years ago today, a gunman shot and killed 20 young children and six
educators at Sandy Hook School in Newtown, Connecticut.

My mom, Principal Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung, was gunned down trying to
protect her students and staff.

Since that terrible day, it's been eight years of mourning, but also eight
years of fighting for an end to gun violence. Eight years ago, I made a
pledge to never stop fighting. And now I'm asking you: [ [link removed] ]Will you join me
and pledge to fight for an end to gun violence in 2021?

I'm fighting for an end to the gun violence that kills more than 100
Americans every day and wounds hundreds more. I'm fighting for an end to
the gun lobby's control over our elected leaders. I'm fighting for a
future where our children are not traumatized by monthly active shooter
drills. And I'm fighting for a future in which our concerts and bars, our
houses of worship, and places of work are safe from the threat of gun
violence.

[ [link removed] ]Commit to fight against gun violence in 2021.

After the shooting at Sandy Hook School, Congress had a chance to enact a
strong background checks bill to help prevent future tragedies. But
NRA-backed politicians blocked it. And then the same thing happened after
the tragic shooting in Las Vegas. And Parkland. And El Paso. And Dayton.
And so many others. And as a result, the daily gun violence in this
country persists and far too many families are left to face tragedy.

But John, the work that we have done this year has put momentum
on our side. This year, we have elected the strongest gun safety
presidential ticket in history with President-elect Joe Biden and Vice
President-elect Kamala Harris. Not only have we defeated the NRA's
greatest ally in the White House, but our movement is positioned to fight
for real gun safety reform with President Biden in office.

In 2021, we're going to keep up the fight to end gun violence in America,
and I need to know if you're still with us: [ [link removed] ]John, pledge to
stand alongside me as we fight to break the NRA's hold on power and end
gun violence in 2021.

Thank you for continuing to fight alongside me,

Erica Lafferty
