Stop the Scourge of Gun Violence!

Dear Friend,
Tulsa, Uvalde, Buffalo. The news of unspeakable gun violence is
excruciating and unceasing. Guns are now the leading cause of death for
children in America. [ [link removed] ] Yet, there are members of Congress who still
insist that guns should be everywhere and resist life-saving legislation,
even as over 200 mass shootings have already happened in 2022 [ [link removed] ] and
lives are being lost to guns each day.
Unbelievably and unconscionably, those same members of Congress even
continue to doggedly defend the “gun rights” of everyone to have all types
of guns everywhere, even as heartbreaking funerals of the fourth graders
in Uvalde, and the tragic memorial services in Buffalo, are taking place.
[1]This is not okay. We are not okay. Tell your members of Congress to
take action now to stop gun violence in America.
It’s time for all of us to make sure our leaders hear us loud and clear
that we cannot bear another day of wondering if our child or loved one
will be the next victim of gun violence.
[2]Tell Congress to take action now to stop the scourge of gun violence!
There are now more guns than people in our nation. [ [link removed] ] “Guns everywhere,”
without any substantive gun safety policies in place to protect our
communities and children, has made it easy for any would-be mass shooter
to access firearms and enables them to go ahead and shoot, whether from
murderous intent or mundane boredom. We need tighter gun control to begin
dismantling the extreme “guns everywhere” culture, which means advancing
gun safety policies like comprehensive background checks, “red flag” laws,
safe storage, and bans on assault weapons and high capacity magazines.
Right now Congress is discussing whether and what gun control legislation
to move forward. It is critical that they hear from their constituents now
that we expect immediate and strong action to the carnage, devastation,
and tragedy – too often fueled by hate – that has become an everyday
occurrence in our country.

Is there hope for legislative change? Yes! We are hearing that there are
serious bipartisan talks happening and we may have an opening to finally
pass some significant gun control legislation, but it won’t be easy. Next
week we are expecting a vote in the House on the Omnibus Protect our Kids
Act (HR7910). There could potentially be a Senate vote next week too.
America’s families do not want to raise our children in a country with so
much violence, where our children are not safe, where mass shootings are
commonplace, where there are more guns than people and no significant
community safety measures. We and our children deserve better.

priority for their constituents!
And please forward to your friends and family to make sure they raise
their voices too!
