Memories of the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in my home state of Connecticut flooded back to me. How could we let this happen again and again while Congress does nothing? But something different happened last summer. My Senate colleagues heard me, and we quickly started working together to draft what would become the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Just weeks later, the legislation reached President Biden’s desk, and he signed it into law on June 25, 2022. But our work is not done, and we can only keep making change and saving lives with your continued support.

There’s no better moment to show your support than before Friday’s quarterly deadline.]( [CONTRIBUTE NOW]( So what changed? Why were we finally able to pass gun safety legislation last year, in the wake of Buffalo and Uvalde, when we couldn’t after Sandy Hook? The simple answer: because we built a movement. Over the course of a decade, we worked together to build a political movement that now rivals the gun lobby’s power in Washington. There’s no doubt in my mind that it would not have been possible without my dear friend Gabby and her organization GIFFORDS. As Gabby always says, the fights worth having are rarely easy. And when it comes to our ongoing fight to end gun violence, this couldn’t be more true. The NRA and gun lobby fought us every step of the way on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Those weeks of negotiations were some of the longest and toughest times I’ve ever had in the Senate. There were moments I thought we’d come up short again. But you kept fighting. You helped keep the pressure on my colleagues, and we won. We proved everyone who challenged and doubted us wrong. We were able to get Republicans and Democrats to finally come together and do something meaningful on the federal level about our nation’s epidemic of gun violence for the first time in nearly 30 years. But the fight isn’t over yet. There’s still so much more we must do to end the scourge of gun violence, and I’m glad I have the support of organizations like GIFFORDS to help us grow our power in Congress.
