John, deadly gun violence happened across the country this
weekend.

At least 24 people were shot in Chicago, three fatally, including
7-year-old Jaslyn Adams who was shot and killed as she and her father were
getting food at a McDonald's drive-thru. Her father, Jontae Adams, was
critically wounded.

In Omaha, Nebraska, a man opened fire inside Westroads Mall, fatally
shooting one person and wounding another.

In Kenosha County, Wisconsin, three people were shot and killed, while
another three were shot and wounded at The Somers House tavern.

At a vigil for a homicide victim in Truro Township, Ohio, one person was
shot and killed, and five people were wounded.

In Austin, Texas, three people were shot and killed by the same person.

A five-year-old was shot and injured in Baltimore, Maryland.

In LaPlace, Louisiana, six people were shot and wounded at a 12-year-old's
birthday party. A neighbor said that all of the victims were children.

In Shreveport, Louisiana, at least five people were shot and critically
injured in a drive-by shooting.

And John, this is just a fraction of the gun violence that
happened across the United States this weekend.

Our country's gun violence takes the lives of more than 100 people, on
average, every single day. We need more than thoughts and prayers from our
lawmakers. We need action now, starting with background check legislation.

The gun violence that happened this weekend adds to the pain that we are
experiencing as a country, following the mass shooting at a FedEx facility
in Indianapolis, Indiana, after multiple police shootings—including those
of Adam Toledo and Daunte Wright—and after instances of gun violence in
every form that may not have made headlines, but ravaged our communities
all the same. It's past time for our lawmakers to take action on this
crisis and listen to the will of the American public. [ [link removed] ]We need

Thank you for being a part of this movement, and thank you for demanding
action.
