It was the first day back to school. The immediate aftermath of a shooting like this one is a critical moment to raise our voices for change. [Please, will you add your name to our petition to call on Congress to finally END school shootings?]( [SIGN ON: End School Shootings]( {NAME}, the students in Perry, Iowa, should have spent yesterday catching up with friends and showing off their favorite holiday gifts. But instead, these students found themselves running from gunfire, surrounded by blood and broken glass. No child should have to fear being shot in their classroom. And every day that our leaders refuse to end this violence, they are failing our children. As Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said: "It's time that this Congress puts kids over guns." [If you agree with him, will you add your name to our petition before midnight tonight to demand that Congress finally end school shootings?]( [SIGN ON: End School Shootings]( Every year, so many of our communities are devastated by mass shootings again and again and again. An entire generation of children have grown up living in fear that their school, their grocery store, their place of worship or their home will be next. And this crisis is only getting worse. There were more school shootings in 2023 than in any other year on record. The shooting in Perry was the first major school shooting of 2024. But it will not be the last. Until leaders in Washington finally stand up to the gun lobby, pass lifesaving reforms and BAN assault weapons, it will only be a matter of time until the next school shooting leaves another community mourning. It's time to break this cycle and stop the violence. The majority of Americans support lifesaving gun reforms. If we raise our voices as one, we'll be an unstoppable force, capable of overcoming even the gun lobby's iron-tight grip on Washington. [Today, we're asking 15,000 activists to take a stand with us: Please, add your name before 11:59 p.m. tonight to DEMAND that Washington finally listen to the American people and end school shootings. It is possible to win a safer future – but we have to fight for it, {NAME}.]( Thank you for bravely raising your voice today. We hope that you and your loved ones are safe and together.
