Hi John,

2020 was the deadliest year in decades, with a record number of people shot and killed. Now, 2021 is on track to be worse. According to the Gun Violence Archive, the numbers of gun deaths, gun injuries, children shot, teenagers shot, and mass shootings are all higher this year than they were at the same point last year.

In other words, by almost every metric, gun violence is surging above last year’s record-breaking rate. We cannot afford inaction any longer. That’s why we’re writing with a request: can you pitch in to support our work to pass evidence-based policies to stop this senseless violence? A generous donor has agreed to match every single dollar donated by 11:59pm tomorrow, which means every gift you give today will go TWICE as far. Contribute now --->

As the pandemic persists and with more guns in circulation than ever before, we need to double down on the policies and programs we know work. We know that we have a winning strategy. But we need your support to turn the tide on the devastating gun violence plaguing our community. Please, give what you can today.

Thank you,
Renée (she/her)
