Victory! Gov. Newsom of California Signs Package of Gun Safety Bills into Law

Following months of advocacy by Brady California chapters, Gov. Newsom on Friday signed a package of gun safety bills into law! This is activism at its finest, but it wasn’t easy by any means. Brady California, led by Legislative Chair Amanda Wilcox tirelessly testified and lobbied for these bills, including driving more than 1,300 calls from constituents. Amanda was also one of few people to testify at committee hearings. Read more about California’s new gun laws! [[link removed]]

We Need Extreme Risk Protection Orders

Last weekend, two gunmen shot and killed 4 people and injured 5 others at a bar in Kansas City, Kansas. We now know that neither shooter should ever have been able to get their hands on a gun. Both shooters had serious charges pending against them in court, but due to weak gun laws and lack of enforcement, the gunmen weren’t stopped. What would have stopped them? Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) — they allow family members or law enforcement officials to petition a judge to temporarily remove firearms from a person in crisis. What’s especially devastating is this: An ERPO bill is on McConnell's desk. It’s been sitting there for more than 200 days. We cannot accept this. Learn more about ERPOs [[link removed]] .

Brady Endorses Candidates for New Jersey’s General Assembly

With less than 30 days until statewide elections in the Garden State, we’re excited to announce our endorsements for New Jersey’s General Assembly! Brady-endorsed candidates are:

* Majority Leader Louis D. Greenwald (LD-6)

* Lisa Mandelblatt and Stacey Gunderman (LD-21)

* Gina LaPlaca and Mark Natale (LD-8)

* Lisa Bhimani and Darcy Draeger (LD-25)

New Jersey has been leading the fight to end gun violence. Last month, Brady members stood by Gov. Phil Murphy as he announced an executive order that New Jersey will stop doing business with gun manufacturers or retailers that fail to follow common-sense public safety standards. We know these Brady-endorsed candidates will only strengthen this leadership. Read more [[link removed]] .

51 is Fair — We Need a Simple Majority to Stop Gun Violence!

The overwhelming majority of Americans want common-sense gun reform like expanded background checks — over 90 percent, as a matter of fact. Yet, the Senate’s 60-vote rule has long served to block efforts to pass gun safety legislation. That’s why we believe #51isfair! Gun violence is a national emergency, and it’s imperative that Congress set aside political games and take a simple majority vote on gun safety. Tell your senators that 51 is fair! [[link removed]]

Brady Quote of the Week 🎤

“Brady is constantly working to elevate the voices of survivors, activists, and those impacted by gun violence. We want Red, Blue, and Brady to serve as a platform for those impacted to tell their stories, but also for those who may not know much about gun violence in America to better understand the everyday realities.”— Brady President Kris Brown [[link removed]] about the launch of Brady’s new podcast
