John,

Today, we woke up yet again to tragedy. Yesterday afternoon in Gilroy, California, a gunman murdered three people and injured at least 12 more.

John, our hearts break again. Families mourn again. A community asks itself how this could happen again.

The tragedy in Gilroy is just one of many deadly shootings in America over recent days. A man was shot outside a synagogue in Miami. One person was shot and killed and 11 people were injured at a community event in Brooklyn. Eight people were killed and 40 were injured in shootings throughout Chicago this weekend. Four people were killed and two injured in a San Fernando Valley shooting spree. This kind of gun violence is a uniquely American problem, and we can do better. We must do better. Today, we’ll repeat the typical process: thoughts and prayers from national leaders, and inaction from Congress.

I’m going to ask you to do two things today to make things different:

1. I want you to call Congress and tell them we need stronger gun laws NOW: (202) 224-3121.

2. I want you to make a contribution today to Brady so that we can continue to fight for stronger laws and to work to prevent tragedies like these.

We don’t know all the details of the Gilroy shooting. Law enforcement is still working its way through the evidence. But I know this: there is a bill to expand background checks on Mitch McConnell’s desk, and he has refused to take action We know that expanded background checks will save lives. And while they may not have stopped this tragedy, they can stop future tragedies.

John, make today different: Call Congress and then make a contribution to end our country’s gun violence epidemic, once and for all.

Best,
Kris
