John, tomorrow will mark the fourth anniversary of my daughter Jaime's murder. She was just 14 years old when she was hunted down in the halls of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, by a gunman armed with a military-style assault weapon.
It feels impossible that it's been four years since I hugged my daughter and told her I loved her — but each and every day I still feel the pain of knowing I won't ever get to do that again. I'll never see her dance again or hear her laugh. But what I will do, is continue to fight in honor of my daughter’s memory and the daughters we can still save.
That's why I've dedicated my life to fighting for stronger gun safety laws — like the assault weapons ban that could have saved Jaime's life. Brady is leading that movement in Congress, in the courts, and in communities — and today, they're launching a campaign in honor of the Parkland anniversary. But to reach their goal, they need 5,000 people to sign their urgent petition demanding Congress ban assault weapons.
I'm counting on you to be one of those 5,000 petition signers, John. I can't save Jaime, but together, we can save more lives by banning deadly weapons of war. So right now, before the midnight deadline tomorrow, will you add your name to call on Congress to ban assault weapons?

Though the pain hasn't stopped since Jaime was murdered, I have hope for the first time in a while. We have two gun violence prevention champions in the White House and gun safety majorities in Congress. Change is on the horizon — but not without your support today, John.
Banning assault weapons has worked before, and it will work again — if we make it happen. Please, don't sit this one out. We know how to save lives, and this is how we set it all in motion. Thank you.
