Action in the name of justice

All too often in America, hate and gun violence combine with tragic and violent results. We've seen this play out far too many times in recent months, in communities from El Paso to Poway to Pittsburgh. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌…

A common link: High-capacity magazines

Countless families have had their lives changed forever – because deadly accessories like high-capacity magazines are bought and sold with seemingly no restrictions.‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌…

re: Our national nightmare

  John – we've been amazed by the outpouring of support for El Paso and Dayton, as well as the demands for real action that are impossible for our leaders to ignore. Since we reached out yesterday, many of you have asked how you can help us push this movement forward, and a great way…

Our national nightmare

Mass shooters terrorized two more American cities this weekend, killing at least 29 people and wounding dozens more in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ …

Asking one more time

  We are so close, John – but we're still behind our critical match goal to help keep weapons of war out of dangerous hands. Your gift, right now, will be DOUBLED and help save lives from gun violence – but only until midnight. Can we count on you to give $5 now to help protect I-1639? …

The night my son was shot

John, three years ago today, I was awakened by the police at my door with the news that every parent dreads: My son, Will, had been shot at a friend’s house in our hometown of Mukilteo, and I needed to get to the hospital right away. My thoughts immediately turned to the worst. In th…

we only have 72 hours

The gun lobby's lawyers are still coming after I-1639, John – and if their lawsuit is successful, this groundbreaking initiative will be in serious trouble. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌…

some news

This year, we had our most successful legislative session ever, and today, eight new gun safety laws are going into effect. Thanks to the support of gun safety champions like you, Washington State will be safer – and other states have a model for similar action.  Here's a sampling…

the NRA's lawyers still won't quit

  The NRA is still suing us in federal court, and it's a serious threat to the future of I-1639. Last year, we fought harder than ever to pass I-1639, but gun sellers across the state are still promoting widespread access to semi-automatic rifles and other weapons of war – and some she…

Route 91

I want to share my story with you, John. Before I survived the tragedy in Las Vegas, I never thought of myself as an advocate or considered the need for gun safety reform. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ …
