Take Action: Urge Congress to Protect Our Children from Gun Violence

Currently, six in 10 parents report worrying about school violence. 

According to a recent study, parents across political, ideological, and socio-economic spectra want stronger gun laws. Public school parents—including majorities of Republicans and gun owners—want stronger gun laws. 

Every year, an estimated 3 million American children witness gun violence, impacting their ability to learn and thrive. Parents, educators, students, community members, and families can no longer wait—it is time for our elected representatives to take meaningful action and protect our communities from gun violence.  

We need you to use your voice to urge your members of Congress to co-sponsor the GOSAFE Act (H.R. 8600/S. 3369) TODAY.  

Studies have found that laws restricting access to these military-style weapons and large-capacity magazines have been effective in reducing gun-related deaths, injuries and fatal mass shootings. The GOSAFE Act (H.R. 8600/S. 3369) would restrict access to gas-operated semi-automatic firearms, which includes assault weapons like AR-15s and AK-47s that have been a weapon of choice in mass shootings. Additionally, the GOSAFE Act would authorize grants for gun buy-back programs and require the Attorney General to publish a list of prohibited firearms and exempt firearms. 

Contact your members of Congress TODAY to urge them to co-sponsor the GOSAFE ACT (H.R. 8600/S. 3369), a vital piece of legislation that will protect our communities. Every child deserves a safe learning environment free from the fear of violence, and it's time to make this promise a reality.
