We want to extend a HUGE thank you to the Newtown Action Alliance for all their efforts to lobby Congress for an assault weapons ban and organizing this amazing 10 year Sandy Hook “Trageversary.”

Even President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi were there to honor gun violence victims with action and extend their support for our movement.

We need to stand with Pelosi and Biden now more than ever.

After a DECADE of mass shootings, we need transformational change.

We DESERVE to see whether our Senators stand with the gun lobby or with the majority of Americans who want to see assault weapons banned. Leader Schumer MUST call for a vote but we’re running OUT of time. We need an OVERWHELMING response to keep up the pressure and show Schumer we won’t back down. Will you stand with us and chip in $15 before midnight? Anything you could spare makes a world of difference. >>

Let’s do this,

Team Ban Assault Weapons NOW!

— Original Message —

We’re speechless.

10 years ago, a horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary stole the lives of 20 children and 6 staff members.

We cried. We protested. We rallied. And tonight, we’re holding a vigil to honor the memory of all gun violence victims.

But a decade later, congressional leaders have FAILED to take any decisive action to ensure vicious attacks like these NEVER happen again.

That’s why we’re rallying our top supporters to demand immediate action and ensure no one has to lose their lives to gun violence ever again.

Here’s the plan: Hundreds of survivors and victims’ family members are swarming the Capitol to DEMAND that Senate Majority Leader Schumer finally calls for a vote on the assault weapons ban and we’re not letting up. But we need a MASSIVE response – 738 gifts before midnight – to show the strength of our movement to ban assault weapons and fully fund our efforts to hold complacent lawmakers accountable. Can you rush in $15 right now? >>

This is sickening.

Over one million Americans have been killed or injured by guns since the Sandy Hook shooting.

That’s nearly 275 Americans directly impacted by gun violence every single DAY.

Every moment that we wait, the lives of HUNDREDS of children, siblings, and parents are at risk.

But meanwhile, Leader Schumer sits idly by while gun violence continues to RAMPAGE throughout our schools, towns, and communities.

This is as high stakes as it gets. We will NOT stop fighting until Leader Schumer takes action and calls for a vote on the Senate floor. But Congress only has a couple days left to do it – there’s NO time to waste. We need to stand by the hundreds of activists in DC right now fighting for all of us and letting Schumer know: We will not stand by while you play politics with our lives. We still need 738 more gifts to make sure he can’t ignore our POWERFUL message. Will you rush in an immediate $15 to help us honor all gun violence victims with action? >>

Chip in $15 now >> Chip in $25 now >> Chip in $50 now >> Chip in $100 now >> Chip in another amount now >>

Thank you,

Team Ban Assault Weapons NOW!
