John,
First, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for joining the movement to prevent gun violence.
More than 35,000 people in the U.S. die from gun violence each year. That’s families burying loved ones. A mom, dad, brother, daughter, friend that never comes home. And the financial cost of gun violence is astronomical. Researchers estimate a loss of at least $229 billion each year to our economy because of this violence.
But together, we’re taking action.
Brady is a people-powered coalition and a living testament to our founders, Jim and Sarah Brady. After Jim was shot in the assassination attempt on President Reagan, he and Sarah turned the horrifying, life-altering moment into a lifetime of tireless activism so that no one would have to suffer what they did.
And now you’re an essential part of that movement!
In the next few days, you’ll receive an email from one of my colleagues, Kyleanne, asking you to take your very first action. It’s in our hands to combat this epidemic. Please take a moment to step up.
We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we’re so glad you’re a part of the team, John.
Thank you,
Kris Brown
President, Brady
