We are a movement of people across the country to end gun violence and build safer communities.

Joined February 2011
In some of the country's most competitive congressional races, @MomsDemand Action volunteers ran — and won — helping to establish a gun sense majority. To keep the momentum going, I'll be matching donations to @Everytown’s life-saving work until midnight on November 10. Now's the time to double down and advance our fight for gun safety. etwn.us/4z8LOIB
