John,
In 2017, a gunman entered a church in Sutherland Springs, TX, and killed 26 people with an AR-15 and the community was changed forever. In the years following, the 22 people that survived fought for justice in court, but the government has worked to block their victory – that’s why we’re reaching out today.

One of the survivors of this horrific tragedy is Juan “Gunny” Macias. He got his nickname from his time in the U.S. Marines, where he served 24 years, surviving violence in war zones. But it was while sitting in a pew at First Baptist Church that Gunny experienced gun violence firsthand when he was shot over and over again with a weapon designed for war zones, for mass destruction.
There is nothing that can bring back the lives that were taken or the trauma that this community suffered. What’s worse is that the shooting could have been prevented — the gunman should have been prohibited from buying guns. But because the government failed to add information about his violent history to the federal background check system, he was able to purchase the murder weapon.
And even after fighting and winning a court case holding the government liable for justice in court, Gunny and his fellow survivors are being denied their victory as the Department of Justice refuses to settle the case. These victims and survivors have been through enough, and the government must stop prolonging their pain and trauma in this legal process.
That’s why we’re demanding the government stop blocking justice for victims and survivors of Sutherland Springs — and we need your help to do it. Please make your voice heard by signing our petition to the DOJ now. >> [[link removed]]

Victims and survivors deserve better — and the government needs to know that. Justice doesn’t take away the pain that survivors feel, but it shows that our country and our community care about us, taking accountability to ensure this never happens again.
