John–
Yesterday, heavily armed gun extremists descended on Richmond, VA to intimidate the state's newly elected Gun Sense Majority. With the support of President Trump, they want to keep lawmakers from passing common-sense gun safety legislation.
These extremists want us to be afraid of them. But we're not going anywhere.
Join me today in our fight against gun extremism.
While armed, far-right extremists were in Richmond, we were hard at work. Over 100 Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action volunteers from across the country held phone banks, generating several hundred calls to Virginia lawmakers in support of gun safety.
That's because we know that over 80% of Virginians support gun safety, and because we know the epidemic of gun violence that comes from inaction. Every day, an average of 100 people are shot and killed and hundreds more are wounded across the country.
Far-right gun extremists can try to bully us all they want, but we will keep fighting because we know that gun laws save lives.
Thank you for being a part of this movement, and I hope to see you at a Moms Demand Action event soon.
Sincerely,
Kara Fitzgerald
Deputy National Organizing Director
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America
