We've proved change is possible

For almost 10 years, we've worked to pass gun safety laws and stop the NRA in its tracks. John– When I joined this movement in March 2013, Moms Demand Action was just a few months old. The gun lobby had so much influence on Congress that even a quarter of all Democrats were supported …

YouTube must combat gun extremism on its platform

The Buffalo shooter used YouTube as his personal library of gun tutorials and videos as he prepared to commit mass murder. John– The shooter in Buffalo decided to commit mass murder and target Black people when gun extremism fused with his growing white supremacist beliefs. But accord…

Read my new op-ed: Women Are Winning the Fight for Gun Safety

November is coming, and there's nothing more powerful than an army of angry women. John– When I started Moms Demand Action in 2012, gun safety was a third-rail political issue. Elected officials, beholden to the gun lobby, chose inaction because they were afraid of the NRA. As much as…

Gun manufacturers haven't had to answer for their products under oath in decades. Until now:

The CEOs of two large gun manufacturing companies testified under oath last week. John– For too long, gun manufacturers have been able to operate in the shadows, to make money off our nation's gun violence crisis—without any accountability. Last week, we saw that finally begin to chang…
