Dear John,
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just confirmed what the families and loved ones of the 45,000 Americans killed by gun violence in 2020 already know: The gun death rate in the U.S. reached the highest level ever recorded in 2020. And the lives lost to gun violence in 2021 are continuing at a staggeringly similar rate!
This tragic escalation of American’s gun violence epidemic is driven by a dramatic rise in gun homicides and a persistently high number of gun suicides. And these increased firearm fatalities coincide with record breaking gun sales. Seemingly, a deadly combination.
The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence (EFSGV) is working every day to pass better gun laws to save lives and make America safe. We do not have to accept this daily devastation. We, as a nation, are better than this.
Your gift to the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence (EFSGV) will help enact proven life-saving policies. Your investment today will help save lives next year. With your support, we can stem the tide of this tragic loss of life.
By making a gift to EFSGV you can stand with your fellow Americans who are the most impacted by gun violence and demand change!
Your gift to EFSGV today will help safeguard the lives in every community.
Your gift is especially important now because CSGV board member Mark Schneider and his wife Lisa have made a generous matching gift to prevent gun violence in 2022! Their gift will match gifts received up to $50,000.
Help EFSGV access matching funds! We need you to make progress in 2022. Take action today to invest in a safe new year!
Sincerely, Josh Horwitz Executive Director |
