Hi Jason, This marks a major moment in our fight to end gun violence. I'm leading an effort with other House Democrats to gather signatures for discharge petitions that would force a vote in the House on three different gun control bills. Jason, this doesn't happen often. We're working on these discharge petitions because our nation is in crisis. I've pushed for gun safety reform since my son Jordan was shot and killed in 2012. Our policies on guns failed my son and the many, many others that become victims of shootings every year – and we're on pace for a record number of mass shootings in 2023. Jason, I've had enough. My GOP colleagues have blocked all of our attempts to enact common-sense laws that would curb the epidemic of gun violence, so it's time to force their hand. I'm proud to be leading the movement to end gun violence in Congress – and it's made me the target of far-right Republicans. Can you donate to my campaign and Stop Gun Violence PAC today to help ensure that I can keep doing this work in the years to come? |
The discharge petitions we're introducing would ban AR-15 style firearms, expand background checks, and would close the Charleston loophole. These measures will save lives and make our communities safer. Though we hear the news about shooting after shooting, these senseless acts of gun violence seem to fall on deaf ears for my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. Their thoughts and prayers are meaningless without substantive action. I'm working as hard as possible to get signatures on our discharge petitions so our bills can make it to the House floor, and I won't let attacks from Republicans slow me down. I couldn't do this without grassroots support from the members of our movement to end gun violence – can you show you're with me by chipping in to my campaign and Stop Gun Violence PAC right now? |
I won't stop fighting until we pass federal gun safety reforms and end gun violence nationwide. More to come here. Thank you for taking action, Lucy McBath |
