John—

At this point, we know the feeling of heartbreak and horror all too well. The massacre in Uvalde, Texas, is a grave tragedy for our nation, the third-deadliest school shooting in modern American history. 19 children and two teachers. 

This must stop. We must stop this.

Help us build a safer America: make a contribution to Giffords Law Center today.

No gun law will prevent every shooting, but we know there are meaningful solutions that have and will continue to save lives, such as minimum age laws, safe storage laws, extreme risk protection orders, and universal background checks.

Tomorrow, the 2022 NRA Annual Meeting kicks off in Houston—just a few hours’ drive from Uvalde—and we know the gun lobby will try to downplay this tragedy, that they’ll claim gun safety laws don’t work, that they’ll say now isn’t the time for “politics.” 

It’s exactly the time. 

Giffords Law Center has been fighting the NRA’s misinformation, both inside and outside the courtroom, for decades. We’ve exposed their corruption and helped weaken their stranglehold over Washington. But they still have far too much influence over lawmakers, particularly in states like Texas. Which is why now, more than ever, we must keep up the fight. And that’s where you come in.

Today is the time to talk. Today is the time to act. Today we can save lives.

But we cannot do this alone. We need your help. 

Can you please make a contribution to Giffords Law Center today to help us fight the gun lobby and make our communities safer from gun violence?

$10 $25 $50 $100 $250

We hope you’ll stand with us again today and through the hard days ahead.

Gratefully,
Laura
