John, I had planned to send you a different email today, but I cannot bear to let yet another preventable tragedy go by without addressing it – especially when it happened so close to home.

On Saturday, three children – only 8, 9, and 14 years old – and an adult were killed in a mass shooting at a birthday party in Stockton, CA. Eleven other people were shot and sent to the hospital. This comes mere weeks after a shooting at a college in Oakland. 

But gun violence is not unique to the Bay Area – our entire nation is at risk until we finally do something to end this heinous epidemic. We can protect our children and our country if we keep fighting together, and that’s what I’m asking you to do right now, John:

You can make a real difference by making a donation to fuel Brady’s movement for a safer America - and ahead of Giving Tuesday, your gift will make double the impact. Will you make a gift to change our country for the better right now? >>

I don’t want another person to experience the loss of a loved one to gun violence. My father was shot and killed when I was only a young man and the pain persists to this day and I know that far too many people in this country can relate to that loss. The heartbreaking truth is that until we end this epidemic once and for all, no one is safe.

And yet, our leaders continue to hide behind their cowardice in their efforts to appease the gun lobby, allowing this cycle of violence to continue. I've been working with Brady for years to fight back. And as we approach Giving Tuesday, I need you with me.

When you give to Brady, you're not just donating — you're joining a community that's creating real, lasting change: passing stronger gun safety laws, uplifting survivors, and protecting our children.

So please, don't wait until Giving Tuesday. Make your early gift now and have it DOUBLED to end gun violence for good.

Thank you.
