We can't miss this opportunity, friend:

Keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and people with a history of serious mental illness should be a no-brainer. More than 90% of Americans agree that we should federally require universal background checks – but last time we tried to push this commonsense reform through Congress, Mitch McConnell made sure it was dead on arrival.

Now, McConnell isn't majority leader anymore – and the U.S. House just passed universal background check legislation that the Senate could vote on soon. But NRA-backed senators like McConnell are doing everything they can to halt this bill because they care more about appeasing their political donors than preventing the next mass shooting.

That's where you come in, friend: We need to show the Senate that there's widespread public support for universal background check legislation, so we've set a goal to get 10,000 signatures on our petition by midnight tonight – and we're counting on you to add your name. 

We need your help to stop guns from falling into dangerous hands and prevent the next tragedy. Please, add your name now: 

Friend, sign our petition right now to tell the Senate to pass universal background checks. Lives are at risk every moment that passes without action.

We can't move the needle on gun safety reform without grassroots supporters like you. Thanks for standing alongside us in this fight to save lives.
