John — time is running out for gun safety activists like you to help celebrate Jim Brady's 81st birthday by becoming Brady Legacy Members and recommitting to the fight to end gun violence.

We wouldn't ask if it weren't critically important — but don't just take our word for it: President Obama said it best when he spoke to how important Jim Brady's efforts to defeat the NRA and bring meaningful change to this country were — and how urgent it is for you to continue his fight:

From Jim Brady to President Obama to Steve Kerr, Brady's grassroots team of champions all share one goal: to prevent gun violence and save lives. We know you share that goal, too, and have never wavered from helping us fight for an assault weapons ban, hold gun manufacturers accountable in court, and defeat the NRA and their bought-and-paid-for politicians.

That's what Jim Brady's legacy is all about. But we can't win any of these critical fights without YOU, John, on this team with us. We're counting on you to honor Jim Brady's years of action and finish his fight by becoming a Brady Legacy Member today. But time is running out, and we need to know you're in this fight with us. Will you activate your membership now?

Thanks for never giving up, John. Together, we can make this country a better, safer place. 

— Team Brady
