John, this marks a special time for us at Brady — tomorrow would have been our founder Jim Brady's 81st birthday. So today, I'm reaching out to a select group of supporters with an exclusive preview of how we're honoring his legacy.

Part of what made Jim Brady such a hero was his unwavering dedication to ending America's gun-violence epidemic. Because you've been one of our most dedicated supporters, we'd like to give you the exclusive chance to become one of the very first Brady Legacy Members today — one day before the general public.

Right now, before our official birthday celebration tomorrow, will you donate any amount to become an early-bird Brady Legacy Member and honor Jim Brady's memory with your commitment to ending gun violence?

As a gun violence survivor myself, our work here at Brady is deeply personal — and it also keeps us constantly connected to Jim. He showed us that the loss inherent in gun violence doesn't have to be an ending: It can be the beginning of a legacy of life-saving work.

Every day that you fight with us to pass common-sense gun safety legislation, spread awareness, and defeat the NRA's reign of terror, you become a part of that legacy, too, John. And together, we have achieved so much — from electing gun-violence prevention champions to the White House and Congress to holding gun manufacturers accountable in courts.

But we still have so much ahead of us: banning assault weapons, expanding background checks, and preventing shooters from printing their own untraceable ghost guns. As a Brady Legacy Member, you'll be an essential part of that work — and a constant reminder of the humanity behind all we've done in Jim's name.

So please, don't let this exclusive offer pass you by. Right now, before the special early offer expires, donate $5, $25 –– any amount before our midnight deadline –– to claim your Brady Legacy Membership now!

Thank you for everything that you do,

Liz Dunning
Gun Violence Survivor & VP of Development, Brady
