John–
We've always said the work to end gun violence is a marathon, not a
sprint. Last week's major victory on ghost guns is a perfect example of
how we went all in to lay the groundwork for change and demand action.
Mia Tretta, a survivor of the 2019 Saugus High School ghost gun shooting
and a Students Demand Action leader, made that clear when she spoke at the
White House last week. She reminded all of us why we fight when she said
"Nothing has relieved the pain in my heart like working to prevent more
senseless shootings."

For the last several years, we've mobilized every part of our movement to
stop the spread of ghost guns:
* We petitioned the Trump Administration to act and sued when it failed
to.
* We testified before Congress.
* We sued ghost gun manufacturers.
* We drove nearly 100,000 comments to the ATF in support of stopping
ghost guns.
* We passed ghost gun laws in states across the country. In just the
last few months, we made ghost guns illegal in Washington and
Maryland. And right now, a ghost gun bill is on the Illinois
governor's desk.
An immense amount of work went into last week's victory—and it would not
have been possible without people like you. We cannot thank you enough.
But our work is far from over. We'll keep up the fight to pass laws across
the country that stop the spread of ghost guns. And we'll keep holding bad
actors accountable for worsening our country's gun violence crisis.
