I just checked in with my team, John, and unfortunately, I am not coming to you with the news I wanted to be sharing. Our Giving Tuesday match expires in just a few hours, and we're still coming up short.

With so much on the line, I'm bumping Steve Kerr's message because he's absolutely right: We're relying on every dollar of this Giving Tuesday match goal to fight back against the NRA's millions and make tangible change. We need this, John. We need YOU.

Every dollar we fail to maximize during this match is $2 that we can’t use to help save lives – and $2 the NRA is sure to raise on their deadly rampage. Falling short right now forces us to make difficult decisions about the fight ahead at a critical moment in our movement.

If everyone reading this just gave $5, we’d hit our goal in no time. Your doubled donation today, added to a swell of grassroots donations from across the country, is what is building our movement. It determines our ability to pass life-saving gun safety legislation, hold gun manufacturers accountable in court, and finally end the NRA's reign of terror.

Not everyone reading this will give. But I'm counting on YOU to, John. So please — I wouldn't ask if it weren't mission-critical: Will you rush $5 now — every dollar you can chip in to have DOUBLED — so Brady can hit our Giving Tuesday goal before the midnight deadline, fight the NRA, and take action to end gun violence and save lives?

Steve and I are both gun violence survivors, and I can't tell you how much it means to people like us to have your support. Thank you for everything.

John —

My name is Steve Kerr. You might know me as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, but that’s not why I’m writing to you today. Instead, I'm about to share my story with you and explain why your gift to Brady this Giving Tuesday could not be more important.

Before I was an NBA championship coach, before I was a player, I was just a young man working hard to make my dreams come true. But 37 years ago, my life was shattered when my father was shot and killed outside his office.

That was the moment I realized no one is immune to gun violence until we all are — and to make the world safer for all of us, we need to be honest about the fight ahead. We have a right to live without the constant fear of gun violence, but as long as the NRA, Mitch McConnell, and their pocket politicians threaten this right — our fight isn't over. And I'm proud to take on that fight alongside the incredible activists and survivors at Brady.

Brady works every single day to loosen the gun lobby's chokehold on our lives and stop gun violence from claiming any more of our friends, family, and neighbors. But it's not easy — the NRA is spending $2 MILLION to stop life-saving progress, and Brady is fully relying on grassroots supporters like you to make tangible change in this country.

That's why this Giving Tuesday is especially critical: With all gifts matched, you can make your biggest impact of the entire YEAR to power Brady's life-saving work and finally defeat the NRA. Brady set a huge goal of $125,000 — and just for Giving Tuesday, every single grassroots dollar they raise will be DOUBLED. But we have less than 24 hours to get there, and if we fall short, the NRA won't hesitate to kick us while we're down. Please, will you donate RIGHT NOW to kick off Brady's Giving Tuesday, defeat the NRA, and save lives from gun violence?

I can’t emphasize this enough: If we’re going to move forward with Brady’s plan for gun safety reform, we need to join forces to overcome Mitch McConnell and the NRA. Together, we’re unstoppable, and I hope you’ll join me in this fight to take action on gun violence, John.
