Hi John,
There have been 502 mass shootings in the first three quarters of 2022. The last four months in a row–May, June, July, and August–each recorded more than 60 mass shootings. Before 2020, there had never been a month with over 60 mass shootings. It happened five times in 2020 and six times in 2021. This year is on track to be even worse.
We share numbers like this not to sensationalize, but to emphasize how much work we have left to do. We cannot afford to press pause on the fight to end gun violence. Right now, we’re $7,000 short of our Q3 fundraising goal and without these funds, we could be forced to put some of our lifesaving work on hold.
Thankfully, a generous supporter has agreed to MATCH every contribution made before the end of the month to help us reach this goal! Can you give $25 today to have your gift go twice as far? [link removed]
FUND OUR FIGHT: [link removed]
We are working day in and day out to put an end to the gun violence crisis in our communities. We are defending lifesaving policies like high-capacity magazine restrictions against bogus gun lobby lawsuits. We are holding our lawmakers accountable to ensure that they don’t lose sight of the urgency of this epidemic. We are fighting for funding for our community-based violence intervention partners. And we are pushing for the kind of evidence-based policies we know will work to stop shootings and save lives.
That’s why I am asking you to take advantage of this generous match offer and make a contribution today to help us meet our Quarter 3 fundraising goal. Please, donate today to ensure your gift has double the impact.
I know we have a winning strategy. And I know that we can make a difference in the fight to end gun violence once and for all. But we can’t do it alone. [link removed]
Thank you for being on our team,
