Dear MoveOn member,
Where will the next mass shooting take place?
In an elementary school—like Robb Elementary, where 19 students and two
adults were killed? In a supermarket—like Tops Friendly Market, where 10
shoppers, all Black, were killed by a man inflamed by racist, white
supremacist hatred?
In a church? In a movie theater? In a nightclub? In a Walmart?
We don't know where, but tragically, we know that there will be another
mass shooting—and another, and another, and another—if our federal and
state governments continue to be held in the clutches of the gun lobby and
its Republican henchmen.
You can bet it will happen. That an AR-15 or a similar military-grade
assault weapon will be involved. And that Republican politicians, who
pocket money from the gun industry while blocking any and all commonsense
gun safety legislation, will offer empty "thoughts and prayers."
And it will keep happening until we—the overwhelming majority of Americans
from all walks of life and all political stripes who support commonsense
gun laws—act together to confront the NRA, break their stranglehold on
politicians, force politicians to vote, and hold them accountable for the
outcome.
Can you start a $5 monthly donation to power and sustain
MoveOn's work to confront the gun industry and work for stricter gun laws?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Already, MoveOn members have sprung into action. More than 100,000 have
called for the NRA to cancel its convention—a "celebration" of gun
culture—that will feature Donald Trump and leading Republicans, including
Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz, in Texas this weekend. That's right: In the
state where 19 4th graders and two teachers were just massacred by an
18-year-old with an AR-15.
We're lifting up the voices of Texas MoveOn members, supporting those who
will protest the NRA convention, and investing in highly visible ads and
whatever else it takes to draw attention to the Republicans' sick devotion
to the gun lobby.
In addition, more than 80,000 MoveOn members have demanded the Senate stay
in session to pass gun laws that have been waiting for a vote for years,
instead of taking a 10-day recess. House Democrats have already passed
popular, commonsense, impactful bills—and the Senate needs to do the same.
That's why we're calling on Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader,
not to let the Senate go home—and not to let Senate Republicans race to
the death cult gathering in Houston—without being forced to vote on
reining in assault weapons and senseless death and destruction.
And while supporting tactics in Texas and in Washington, D.C., we're also
planning to support national actions in the weeks ahead to raise the
voices of those of us—the vast majority of Americans—who are demanding
political leaders act to break the hold of the NRA and pass laws that will
save lives.
This is a multifaceted effort, it's fast, and we have a real opportunity
to finally make progress. Can you make a $5 monthly
donation to power this work for as long as it takes?
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
We'll be honest: We weren't planning for this campaign. MoveOn is going
deep into work on protecting abortion rights, taxing the ultra-wealthy to
create a more fair economy, advocating for measures to combat climate
change, confronting book bans, and so much more already as we look ahead
to the midterm elections.
But we can't sit this out.
MoveOn members have a long history of confronting the NRA. MoveOn members
were on stage with President Obama when he signed executive orders to
close loopholes—work that resulted, in part, from the advocacy of millions
of MoveOn members. We've pushed Democrats to reject money from gun
manufacturers, organized to get Walmart to change its policies on gun
sales, and confronted the NRA with grassroots, people-powered
campaigns—and, sadly, so much more, as these tragedies continued unabated.
And we're here for this moment—to push Democrats to hold critical votes,
demand Republicans listen to their constituents and find common ground to
take on gun violence, to isolate the NRA and weaken the gun lobby's grip
on our politics, and hold accountable politicians who fail to act.
Will you chip in $5 a month now so we can move fast with
tactics in Texas and in Washington, D.C., and push for progress over the
long term? Together, we can and must demand our political leaders act.
[ [link removed] ]Yes, I'll chip in monthly.
[ [link removed] ]No, I'm sorry, I can't make a monthly donation.
Thanks for all you do

our elections in 2022?
