John, we need to know what we're dealing with if we're going to
end gun violence:
[ [link removed] ]ELLE: "Research Shows Gun Violence And Misogyny Are Closely Linked. It’s
Time To Make Sure Abusers Can't Buy Guns." by Shannon Watts, Feb. 1, 2022
I and many of my fellow Moms Demand Action volunteers have been the
targets of misogyny since the moment we started fighting for gun safety.
Now our latest research shows just how much the hatred of women thrives
among far-right extremists. For them, it's not a flaw. It's a feature.
It's a recruiting tool.
[ [link removed] ]Read my op-ed in Elle to learn what we can do to fight this deadly
combination of guns and misogyny.
At the start of the pandemic, calls to domestic violence hotlines
increased as women and children were trapped at home with abusers.
Many mass shootings have also been perpetrated by people with misogynist
views, in places like Atlanta, Georgia last year and Denver, Colorado just
last month.
Every country is home to misogynists. But only our country's gun
culture—and weak gun laws—allow and encourage men who hate women to
heavily arm themselves.
We need action now. [ [link removed] ]Read my op-ed about how we can stop gun violence
fueled by misogyny.
We have a lot of work to do, but we will never back down in the face of
men who hate us. Their anger at us only proves that we're winning.
Thank you for being a part of this movement. Together, we can save lives.
