Send the House a New Year's Message:

Tell your U.S. Rep to make gun safety a legislative priority in 2020.

John –

The House is back in session today, and our U.S. Representatives already
have their work cut out for them. There is — to say the least — a lot
going on. But even as our elected officials navigate the crises at hand,
we can't let Congress lose sight of the crisis of gun violence. [ [link removed] ]Tell
your U.S. Rep. to support gun safety this session.

We need our U.S. Representatives to keep gun violence prevention as a
legislative priority. Last year, the House passed H.R. 8 — a bill that
requires background checks on all gun sales — with bipartisan support.
That was a major victory for the gun violence prevention movement: It was
the first time either chamber of Congress passed significant gun safety
legislation in over 20 years. And they didn't stop there — the House went
on to pass multiple lifesaving gun violence prevention bills in 2019; but
there is still critical work to be done.

The House has the opportunity to pass even more gun safety legislation
this year, including bills like H.R. 1236: the Extreme Risk Protection
Order Act of 2019. It's a bill that empowers law enforcement and family
members to intervene at moments of crisis to prevent gun violence before
it happens. But that will only happen if our U.S. Reps continue to
prioritize gun violence prevention as a top priority.

On the House's first day back in session, our U.S. Representatives need to
hear from us. [ [link removed] ]Send your message to keep gun safety a priority in the
House.

With your help, we'll make 2020 a year of victories for our movement.

Sincerely,

Sarah Trumble
Director of Federal Legislative Campaigns
