John–

The past week has felt like whiplash.

Our movement made history by passing the first major federal gun safety
law in 26 years, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. It will save lives
and help prevent gun violence in communities across the country.

But in the same week, the Supreme Court ruled against gun safety in NYSRPA
v. Bruen to allow guns in more places in some states—and against our
reproductive rights by overturning Roe v. Wade. Both decisions will lead
to more deaths.

Holding these complicated realities all at once isn't easy. It's why I
want to check in with you: [ [link removed] ]Tell us what brought you to the gun safety
movement. Take this survey so we can incorporate your thoughts as we plan
for the work ahead.

I've been part of the gun safety movement for seven years, and this month
was one of the most intense times I've experienced. Our state-level fights
added to it: Earlier this month, Ohio lawmakers passed an outrageous law
to arm teachers. Yet just a week later we claimed victory in Rhode Island,
passing laws to prohibit high capacity magazines, stop the open carry of
guns, and raise the age to purchase guns to 21.

We're in the middle of an incredibly difficult time for our country—yet
we've already shown what can happen when we refuse to sit on the
sidelines.

Over the course of just a few weeks, people from across the country
organized and mobilized to demand action from their U.S. senators on gun
safety. We showed up in numbers I'd never seen before—and together, we
won. Because of people like you, our country now has a new historic gun
law that will save lives.

There have been setbacks—big ones—but many of us who've been fighting for
a long time will say the same thing: I've never felt more hopeful about
ending gun violence.

We have more work ahead of us, but I know that together, we can build a
future that's safer for everyone.

Onward,
