John — we went big in Virginia and elected a Gun Sense Majority to Virginia's General Assembly yesterday. Not only did we beat the NRA in their own home state, but these victories will ensure that Gun Sense Candidates will now hold the power to pass legislation to protect families in the Commonwealth from gun violence.
In the wake of the Virginia Beach shooting this past spring, Republicans sided with the gun lobby instead of passing stronger gun laws — and it cost them their jobs. Make no mistake: voters in Virginia just delivered a powerful message to NRA-backed politicians up and down the ballot that we are going to throw them out.
The results in Virginia just gave a huge momentum boost for gun safety in the 2020 elections. But only if we have the resources to keep winning. And with the NRA's political action committee on pace to raise a record amount of money this year, we need your help to make sure we can keep beating the gun lobby and the candidates they have in their pocket. That's why I'm making a big announcement – and a big ask – today. Will you support the launch of the Everytown Victory Fund's 2020 election work to defeat NRA-backed politicians and elect champions for stronger gun laws?

Next year, NRA allies in state legislatures and Congress will have to face voters after standing in the way of critical gun safety reforms. And the NRA's number one ally — President Trump — is also up for re-election. The Everytown Victory Fund is our chance to defeat the NRA at the ballot box and pass stronger gun laws all across the country.
In Virginia, Everytown spent $2.5 million to help elect Gun Sense Candidates, and Moms Demand Action volunteers worked tirelessly knocking on tens of thousands of doors and making more than 100,000 phone calls to get voters to the polls for gun safety. The Everytown Victory Fund will make sure we're ready to go even bigger in 2020 and win.
Donate to the Everytown Victory Fund and help us make the 2020 elections a win for gun safety.
Thank you for supporting our elections work in 2020,
John Feinblatt
