Since I started Moms Demand Action the day after the Sandy Hook tragedy, our movement has been made up of everyday people in communities across the country who do the unglamorous work of grassroots advocacy. They’re parents, students, survivors, veterans, and others who have joined together year after year to fight for gun safety and say enough.
Among them are people like Angela C., a new Students Demand Action volunteer in Florida who has worked hard to get Wear Orange proclamations in neighboring cities; without hesitating, she jumped right into action on state legislative work.
They’re people like Katie S. in Michigan, who has been working with local community partners for years—she recently supported them in joining Moms at Michigan Advocacy Day to speak about their work and needs.
And they’re volunteers like Melissa H., Jeannie K., and Caralyn W., who have helped lead the way on elections work in Maryland, sending out more Gun Sense Candidate questionnaires than any other state—nearly 1,000 so far.
Our movement is made up of so many stories like theirs—but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our impact takes as many forms as there are volunteers. Simply put, the more volunteers we have, the bigger of an impact we make.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is a campaign of Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund. As a movement of Americans fighting for commonsense gun policies, we depend on contributions from supporters like you to fund important work to reduce gun violence.
Paid for by Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund. Contributions to Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund are not tax-deductible.
