Dear John,
Every time there’s a mass shooting, politicians pay attention for a few days, and then the victims and their families turn into nothing more than last week’s news. We’re tired of watching people die because the people leading this country would rather cater to gun lobbies like the NRA over their constituents. If you feel like us and want to see life-saving gun violence prevention passed, sign our petition. [[link removed]]
SIGN OUR PETITION [[link removed]]
Our petition is based on the policy demands we’ve put forth already:
President Biden must appoint a Director of Gun Violence Prevention and dedicate at least $1 billion in funding to combat gun violence, rebuilding our research and data collection infrastructure while supporting community-based violence intervention programming. 
The Director must impanel a task force including agency and bureau heads, and work to empower federal agencies that have been weakened by the gun lobby, such as the Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Additionally, the Director must ensure President Biden and Vice President Harris make good on their commitments to specific executive actions within the first 100 days, including near-universal background checks, license revocation for gun manufacturers and dealers who break the law, closing the boyfriend loophole, investigating the tax-exempt nonprofit status and campaign finance compliance of the NRA.
Ensure that President Biden’s budget restores funding for student safety and school-based programs (including funding for counseling, therapy, and other trauma-informed approaches).
Broaden the reach of the NIH and CDC research to include a national, large-scale survey of public health, including firearms violence questions related to ownership and violence, and additionally instruct agencies to track law enforcement violence and police interactions to better understand the scope and nature of disparities.
Read all our policy demands here [[link removed]] . And please, sign our petition to let the White House know we want action NOW.

The time for talking is over -- we need real action, and we need it FAST. Communities plagued by gun violence can’t wait any longer.
In solidarity,
