Friend,
Today is Gun Violence Awareness Day. Multiple awful mass shootings over the past few weeks and days have made it clear that we must urgently address gun violence in our country.
The good news is that the American people (Democrats AND Republicans) overwhelmingly support gun safety solutions like expanded background checks, safe storage of firearms, and banning assault weapons.
However, Republicans in office keep blocking these popular gun safety policies. Why? Because they receive political contributions from the NRA and gun manufacturers for their obstruction. These greedy corporations want to keep profiting off our pain and our deaths.
Please sign if you agree: It’s time for our gun laws to reflect the will of the people. It’s time for popular solutions to end gun violence.
The gun lobby is powerful and wants us to think that people are divided on gun safety. But it’s not true. Many Republicans in office represent the gun industry more than their own constituents. Enough!
In solidarity,
Rashida
