John,
Yesterday, we marched for our lives again. Hundreds of thousands of people flooded the streets in cities across the country with more than 40,000 people in DC. We’ve said it before, but it has to be said – thank you for showing up for this movement: yesterday, today, and in the days that lie ahead.
In the week leading up to yesterday’s march, we brought hundreds of youth lobbyists to DC. They met with over 70 representatives in Congress, Democrats and Republicans, to discuss the youth experience of gun violence and the need for lifesaving legislation. Our advocacy worked. Today, Senator Chris Murphy announced a bipartisan package with the support of 10 Republicans.
DONATE NOW SO WE CAN BUILD ON THIS MOMENTUM [[link removed]]
While the package doesn’t include everything we need, it has measures that are proven to save lives [[link removed]] , like enhanced background checks for people under the age of 21 and $500 million to encourage states to enforce red flag laws. We need to be clear: there is more work to be done to save lives, including requiring background checks for every single gun purchase nationwide. This bill, the first of its kind in 30 years, should be the beginning and not the end of Congress’ work.
Today’s announcement would not be possible without the supporters like you. When we march, we channel anger into action. When we march, we break partisan gridlock. When we march, we make change.
Now comes the hard work to get this bill passed into law – even with 10 Republican Senators on board, we have to make sure it crosses the finish line.
To support our youth lobbyists working on this, would you consider donating $10 or whatever you can to help us keep up the momentum and pass legislation to end gun violence [[link removed]] ?
