John—Eight years ago, Newtown, Connecticut and the nation
mourned for the victims and survivors of the shooting at Sandy Hook
School. We still mourn for them; the 20 young children and six adults who
were killed that day remain in our memories.

For eight years, we have transformed grief and rage into action to end gun
violence. But as we head towards what can be a breakthrough year for our
movement in 2021, I need to know if you are still with us. [ [link removed] ]Please join
us by pledging to fight for gun safety in 2021.

Thank you,

Shannon Watts

P.S. If you haven't had a chance to read Erica's story below, please read
it and renew your pledge for 2021.

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
