Marie's Gun Violence Prevention Fundraiser

Goal thermometer

Hi, as most of you probably know, I am a volunteer with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a grassroots group fighting for common-sense gun laws.
Did you know that EVERY DAY more than 90 people - 8 of them children - die, and more than 200 people are injured by gun violence in the U.S.? 
 We're fighting to stop this by trying to do the sorts of things that most Americans agree on: Background checks on all gun sales. Preventing domestic abusers from getting their hands on guns. Closing the sorts of loopholes that allowed a white supremacist to kill 9 people in the sanctity of their Charleston church, and that make it easy for criminals to buy dozens of guns legally in Georgia, then re-sell them illegally in New York.

This year, in honor of our Wear Orange campaign, we'll be raising awareness about how big of a problem gun violence is in the United States, AND raising money to help solve that problem. The best part? A percentage of any money I raise for Moms Demand Action nationally will be kicked back to our New York state chapter. That means that we can pay for more local tabling events, quilting bees, member trainings - the sorts of things that allow us to grow our base of people who are willing to stand up and fight for common-sense solutions to what has become a public health crisis.

I ask you to please make a contribution to this essential cause.
