Hi John,

Following the tragic shooting in El Paso, Texas, Americans from all across the country urged Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, to join our fight for safer communities. In response, Walmart announced that it was significantly shrinking its gun sales and lobbying Congress to take action on gun responsibility.

In the midst of continued inaction by lawmakers in Congress, we are calling on our nation’s largest businesses to lead in preventing gun violence.

We’ve partnered with allies from across the country to release the first-ever Gun Safety Scorecard for businesses! The Scorecard measures retailers' efforts to keep the public safe from gun violence in three specific categories and assigns a letter grade to 29 large American businesses. The Scorecard gives consumers the opportunity to vote with our dollar this holiday season and support businesses that are prioritizing gun responsibility.

Go to BusinessMustAct.org to find out how your favorite business measures up and then take action. Ask America’s largest businesses to adopt a policy that would prevent customers from bringing guns into their stores, end political donations to lawmakers who stand in the way of gun reform, and invest in community-driven gun violence intervention programs.  

Thank you for being a part of this movement,
Kristen
