I’ve got that same sickening feeling again today.

Anger. If you’ve followed the news the past few days, you probably feel it too.

If you’re ready to do something about it, please join me by splitting a contribution to Giffords PAC, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence to do good work on gun safety and replace cowardly Republican politicians with people who will act to save lives.

My heart grieves for the people of Monterey Park. Oakland. Half Moon Bay. And the lives lost. My prayers are with the communities, the victims, and the families whose lives have been torn asunder by yet more acts of wanton gun violence.

But not just my thoughts and prayers, my actions too. Like all of you.

California and Californians are hurting. We have experienced 3 mass shootings in 3 days. That’s merely a slice of the more than 300 people shot each day in this country. A country demanding action.

I’m not going to grovel at the feet of Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell and beg them for a change of heart. They have made their political careers by standing unblinkingly by the NRA, and I don’t expect they will change now.

So today, I’m asking you to make a contribution to Giffords PAC, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence to put a stop to this violence. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can act. We MUST act.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your split donation to Giffords PAC, Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund will go through immediately:

Just yesterday, I talked to you about Monterey Park — my experience representing that beautiful city in Congress and the countless hours I’ve spent at that intersection at Garfield and Garvey. I spent some time talking with community members and leaders there on Sunday, grieving with them.

I wish I had been wrong, but as long as Kevin McCarthy and Mitch McConnell are too cowardly to act, it is a virtual guarantee that this horrific violence will continue.

It happened in my backyard this week, tomorrow or the next day it will happen someplace else. If we don’t act to stop gun violence now.

So let’s act. Let’s all do our part.

Thanks for joining me — and doing something about it.
