Hey John!
We did it: Congress will fund research on gun violence for the first time in *over 20 years*!
Despite nearly 40,000 people dying from gun violence each year, federal agencies like the CDC and NIH have not been allowed to study the issue since before we were born. And if we’re going to find the most effective policies to end this epidemic, then #WeNeedToKnow [[link removed]] the facts.
So in July, our student lobbyists and grassroots activists took to the Hill ( and social media [[link removed]] ) to meet with legislators from around the country. Supporters like you helped spread the message to legislators by calling, emailing, and tweeting. And now, we know that our collective hard work paid off.
This is one of the biggest policy wins for our movement in years . And we need to keep the momentum going so the NRA sees we’re just getting started.
Can you support our work with a small donation? Even $3 can make a difference! [[link removed]]
Since we began our lobbying work last year, we’ve been working to reshape the political landscape. From challenging NRA-funded politicians to introducing a Peace Plan [[link removed]] that would save lives, we know first-hand how hard it is to get anything done in a system run by corrupt politicians and paid for by NRA blood money... Especially when you’re just a bunch of high school and college students asking to meet with members of Congress.
That’s why we can’t emphasize enough how huge of a deal this is (so we’re going to repeat it): Congress will allocate $25 million towards studying gun violence for the first time in 20+ years [[link removed]] . It’s incredible. It’s progress. And it’s because of the work of activists, lobbyists, and supporters (like you!).
Donate $3 today to fund our work to find solutions to gun violence, one vote at a time. [[link removed]]
Thanks for all you do,
