But Delegate Nadarius Clark – the VERY FIRST Leaders We Deserve-endorsed candidate elected to office – just STOPPED their schemes and killed the bill. This is a HISTORIC moment and a testament to the power of our movement to end gun violence – but we can’t stop here, {NAME}. We have to elect young gun safety champions to office at every level of government nationwide to continue our fight. That’s why I’m teaming up with BAWN to hit an ambitious new goal – $10,000 raised before midnight tonight – to show the gun lobby we’re not backing down. Can you chip in $15 right away? All contributions go to my organization, Leaders We Deserve. >>]( {NAME}, here’s the truth: EVERYONE counted us out in Virginia. They didn’t think we could take the legislature back. But we showed up day after day. We knocked on doors. We made calls and sent texts. We connected the voters with real leaders like Nadarius Clark. And at the end of it all, young gun safety leaders, led by Nadarius – the youngest member of the Virginia House of Delegates in modern HISTORY – took the state legislature back for Democrats. [In the months since Nadarius Clark and gun safety champions won back the legislature, they have passed bills in that:]( → [BAN]( the sale and possession of “ghost guns” → [BLOCK]( a bill to make our schools less safe by arming teachers → [BAN]( the future sale of assault weapons [Meeting with Nadarius and his team ahead of the vote on the VA assault weapons ban](Meeting with Nadarius and his team ahead of the vote on the VA assault weapons ban [{NAME}, this is only the start – and I know there is so much more we can accomplish together. We urgently need all hands on deck to take advantage of this MASSIVE swing in our direction, compete with the MILLIONS raised by the gun lobby and their allies, and put an end to the senseless, preventable mass shootings that plague our country. So, BAWN and I set a goal to raise $10,000 in the next 13 hours to build an unstoppable foundation of support for gun safety candidates and champions running up and down the ballot in this historic election year. Can I count on you to rush $15 before midnight? All contributions go to my organization, Leaders We Deserve, and our work to elect leaders like Nadarius from coast to coast. >>]( I can’t tell you how much your support has meant to me and the whole BAWN team over the past 6 years. You helped us pass a red flag law in Florida that has already removed guns from the hands of 12,000 dangerous individuals. You showed up at countless rallies, protests, marches, days of action, and more to make our elected officials hear our voices. You helped Leaders We Deserve raise $3 MILLION to elect champions like Nadarius Clark up and down the ballot. You answered our calls time and again and gave us the strength to keep fighting through countless horrific mass shootings and gun deaths. [{NAME}, I’m personally asking you to answer our call once more and stand with BAWN and me before midnight.]( [If we can raise $10,000 in the next 13 hours, we’ll have the funds to power our grassroots activism on the ground, DEFEAT every gun-lobby-backed politician, and rush critical support to gun safety candidates across the country. Please, {NAME}, will you pitch in $15 before midnight?

Legislators that support the deadly proliferation of guns, instead of common sense gun safety measures, are responsible for the carnage of gun violence -- and must be voted out. BAWN also lobbies legislators to support the assault weapon and large capacity magazine ban bills that will help put an end to the slaughter of innocent Americans. But they can’t do this alone. BAWN is relying on your support to kick every coward who refuses to protect our children and families OUT of office. Will you chip in right away?
