June 25, 2022. I remember it vividly, John.
It’s the day Congress passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) – the first piece of federal gun safety legislation in 30 years!
John, this wouldn’t have been possible without gun safety champions from across the country coming together for the second March For Our Lives in D.C. and across the country on June 11, 2022.
After our historic second march, March For Our Lives organizers met with 70+ members of Congress , and the BSCA is the result of our demands for progress finally being listened to.
BSCA remains one of our movement’s BIGGEST wins and that’s worth celebrating. Our hard work and years of organizing came to fruition to make significant and lasting change.
Help us build on the momentum of BSCA by pitching in anything you can today! We still have a lot more work to do until gun violence of all forms is obsolete. [[link removed]]

John, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act is already saving lives.
Just take a look at some of what BSCA includes below ⤵️:
✅ Enhanced background checks for 18-21 year olds
✅ Expanded definition of “gun dealers” to help close the gun show loophole
✅ $250M investment in community violence intervention programs
✅ $1.3B in funding to make our schools safer
✅ Over $1B for training mental health professionals and expanding the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988)
The results are already speaking for themselves ⤵️:
✅ 52% increase in prosecutions of unlicensed firearm dealers
✅ 500+ people charged for gun trafficking or purchasing guns for those who aren’t allowed to purchase their own
✅ 1,100+ illegal firearm sales stopped for individuals under 21 – a 25% increase
✅ 80 community violence intervention programs funded nationwide
✅ 2,100+ communities improved school safety and 6,000 schools expanded crisis intervention teams for students who may be a danger to themselves or others
✅ 170,000+ individuals received mental health awareness training
Let’s be clear though: these wins are the bare minimum required to end gun violence. We have an epidemic on our hands and it’s killing kids and disproportionately killing people of color. This is urgent and we can’t afford to wait.
Progress in the gun safety movement can be slow but BSCA showed us it is possible to secure change at the federal level when we come together and demand it. I am hopeful for more progress and look forward to celebrating even larger wins with you as we continue fighting for more life-saving legislation like BSCA.
Can I count on you to step up today and donate $10 or more so we can continue our critical advocacy? [[link removed]]
