John,
This year is on pace to become the deadliest gun violence year in decades.

Between the pandemic, exacerbated economic and racial inequality, and tenuous relationships between law enforcement and communities of color, gun violence continues to climb all across America.
And unless we step up and demand change, it will carry on rocking communities, shattering families, and inflicting lasting trauma to those who encounter it.
Today we’re asking you to get involved by making a contribution to support our work advocating for community solutions to gun violence. Please contribute what you can: [[link removed]]

This massive number is truly shocking to comprehend. And it gets even worse when you think about all the families and friends across the country reeling from grief over the deaths of their loved ones.
What makes these losses all the more painful is that we know how to successfully prevent gun violence.
Time and time again, we’ve proven that community-based gun violence prevention strategies are effective in curbing gun deaths.
This summer alone, the Community Justice Action Fund has:
*
Partnered
with
the
White
House
to
allocate
critical
funding
for
community-based
violence
prevention
programs;
*
Successfully
worked
with
states,
counties,
and
cities
to
strategically
invest
this
federal
funding
into
community-based
violence
prevention
programs;
and
*
Co-founded
the
#FundPeace
Campaign
that
hosted
summits
across
the
country
to
educate
communities
and
train
leaders
about
the
importance
of
investing
in
community
violence
intervention
programs.
We’ve made serious strides in building the community-driven infrastructure we need to curb gun violence.
But John, we can’t defeat this epidemic alone. Now -- during the deadliest summer on record -- we urgently need your help.
Can we count on you to contribute any amount today and help save lives? [[link removed]]
Thank you for being such an important part of our mission.
- Greg Jackson
