Dear John,
It's hard to overstate how important next year is for our movement to end gun violence. It's imperative for us to go into 2020 with unprecedented strength and momentum. And I am asking for your help. Please make a generous year-end donation to Everytown and Moms Demand Action. Your gift will make you a full partner in the difficult and hopeful work ahead.
I'll never forget the moment in August when news of the El Paso shooting spread at our annual gathering of volunteers, student activists, and survivors of gun violence. Gun violence activist and survivor Brenda Moss electrified thousands of activists when she took the podium.
"Am I mad? Yes," she said. "Will I cry? Absolutely. Will I stop? No!"
Those words sum up a year of heartbreaking losses and inspiring wins. Once again, tragic mass shootings and the American epidemic of gun violence yielded nowhere near the action needed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. But it was also a year of triumphs. And we can win big in 2020, but it all starts with you. Please show your support for an end to gun violence with a generous year-end gift today.

A wave of 2018 electoral victories produced a Gun Sense Majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, and this year it passed the first major gun safety legislation through the House chamber in 20 years. And just last month, in Brenda Moss's home state of Virginia, we helped Gun Sense Candidates take control of both houses of the state legislature. We passed gun safety laws in 18 states and Washington D.C. — in red, blue and purple states across the country we're making progress on gun safety. And for the fifth year in a row, we stopped the NRA's priority bills over 90 percent of the time in state legislature after state legislature.
Next year, we'll build on our victories to press for background checks on all gun sales, strong red flag laws, measures to disarm domestic abusers, and other critical gun safety reforms in Congress and in states across the nation. We will fight in all 50 states. We will seek to elect a Gun Sense Majority in the U.S. Senate and a Gun Sense President. We will grow our grassroots muscle by recruiting and activating ever more volunteers. And we won't stop.
Sincerely,
Matt McTighe
