John,

I want to make sure you saw Erica's email. I was in Washington D.C. the
day seven years ago when 20 small children and six educators were shot and
killed at Sandy Hook School — but my family and my community were back in
Newtown, Connecticut.

That day changed the course of my life and is why I've been working for
years with Everytown and Moms Demand Action to end gun violence. We can
win this fight, but only if every one of us shows up. Can I count on you?
[ [link removed] ]Take the pledge to keep fighting with our movement in 2020 to end gun
violence.

Sincerely,

Kara Fitzgerald
Deputy National Organizing Director
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America

John — I miss my mom every day.

Seven years ago today, a gunman shot and killed 20 young children and six
educators at Sandy Hook School.

My mom, Principal Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung, was gunned down trying to
protect her students and staff.

It's been seven years of mourning, but also seven years of fighting. Seven
years ago, I made a pledge to never stop fighting. And now I'm asking you:
[ [link removed] ]Will you join me and pledge to fight for an end gun violence in 2020?

I'm fighting for an end to the gun violence that kills nearly 100
Americans every day and wounds countless others. I'm fighting for an end
to the gun lobby's control over our elected leaders. I'm fighting for a
future where our children are not traumatized by monthly active shooter
drills. And a future in which concerts and bars, our houses of worship,
and places of work are safe from the threat of gun violence.

[ [link removed] ]Make a pledge with us to continue the fight to end gun violence in 2020

After the shooting at Sandy Hook School, Congress had a chance to enact a
comprehensive background checks bill to help prevent future tragedies. But
NRA-backed politicians blocked it. And then the same thing happened after
the tragic shooting in Las Vegas. And Parkland. And El Paso. And Dayton.
And the gun violence day after day that kills 100 people and wounds many
more — leaving families to face tragedy.

The NRA has been able to stymie our federal progress, but momentum is on
our side. We have Gun Sense Majorities in the U.S. House of
Representatives and in state houses across the country. We just flipped
the Virginia state legislature, with gun safety atop the issues that drove
voters to the polls.

In 2020, we're going to keep up the fight to end gun violence in America,
and I need to know if you're still with us: [ [link removed] ]John, pledge to
stand alongside me as we fight to break the NRA's hold on power and end
gun violence in 2020.

Thanks for continuing this fight with me. Never stop fighting.
