We cannot afford to be complacent

When we first started our work on gun violence prevention, talking about gun safety was almost universally considered a political loser.

Washington operatives told candidates they couldn’t campaign on it. Even if they agreed with us—and the majority of Americans who support commonsense measures to save lives—they feared the NRA too much. It’s easy to look at all we’ve accomplished today and think the tides have fully changed on this issue. But that’s not the reality. We’ve made tremendous progress, but the toll of our gun violence crisis is still way too high. Every day too many lives are taken by gun violence because there are still too many politicians in the pocket of the gun lobby. [The only way that will change is if we keep the pressure on. Together. Please contribute $3 right now to send a clear message that our movement is more powerful than the gun lobby.]( Yes, it’s true—our movement has significantly shifted public opinion. We know that gun safety is a winning issue. But the gun lobby doesn’t go down without a fight. Donald Trump is on the ballot. Extreme MAGA Republicans like Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene are still in Congress. The Supreme Court is still packed with right-wing politicians. The gun lobby sees this election as their chance to stage a comeback. If they can defeat our candidates, then they believe they can roll back our progress, pass their “guns everywhere” agenda, and lock in power for a decade. So we cannot afford any complacency. We are preparing the most ambitious campaigns and organizing efforts that we’ve ever done, but we need your help to make sure we have the resources to do it.
