One of my last asks as Executive Director

Much like Gabby and her recovery, the work we’ve done here at GIFFORDS over the past eleven years has defied the odds.

I wanted to reach out to you personally with an important update. After co-founding GIFFORDS eleven years ago, and serving seven years as Executive Director, I’ll be stepping down this month. [Before I start a new chapter, I’m respectfully asking you for one of the last times as Executive Director to make a contribution to GIFFORDS PAC before our first mid-month fundraising deadline of the year on Tuesday.]( I started working for Gabby in the House of Representatives just days before the shooting in Tucson. In the days and weeks that followed, it was often me in the office receiving many of the well-wishes from people like you. I continued to work for Gabby in Congress until she stepped down, and then helped her found GIFFORDS. Much like Gabby and her recovery, the work we’ve done here at GIFFORDS over the past eleven years has defied the odds. So many people told us that we wouldn’t be able to change anyone’s mind on gun safety. So many people looked us in our faces and told us that the politics would be too difficult. So many people said that the NRA was too powerful for us to challenge. Yet here we are today. GIFFORDS has helped pass over 620 laws in states nationwide. Last year, we helped pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act—the most significant gun safety legislation in 30 years. Instead of shying away from talking about gun safety, candidates now run (and win!) their races with gun violence prevention as a kitchen table issue. Right now, the NRA is the weakest it has ever been, with membership at record lows and Wayne LaPierre resigning in disgrace. None of this could have been possible without the work we have all done together. None of it could have been possible without you, {NAME}. [So will you please make a $3 contribution to GIFFORDS PAC today? Your support before Tuesday’s mid-month fundraising deadline is more important than ever.]( If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly: [Donate $3]( [Donate $25]( [Donate $50]( [Donate $100]( [Donate $250]( [Other Amount]( We'll be announcing my successor shortly, so stay tuned for exciting news about the next chapter of our organization. It’s been an honor to be on this journey towards a future free from gun violence with you. Thanks for all that you do to support GIFFORDS and our mission to save lives.
