Here are steps you can take today:

1. Support Gun Sense Candidates across the country.

   The best way we can make change is to elect candidates that are not only willing to vote for gun safety legislation, but who will champion this issue. And it is time to vote out the people who are blocking action on this issue in Congress.

   • Volunteer for Gun Sense Candidates! You can make a difference in these races. Not sure if your local Rep. is supporting common sense gun safety? Find out here.

   • Chip in $5 to help recruit and support the next generation of Gun Sense Candidates.

   • Get involved with Gunsense Vermont and support their organizing efforts across Vermont.

2. Write letters and emails to Governor AbbotT in Texas and call on him to take meaningful action to protect Texans.

   • 41 students from across Texas published an open letter to Gov. Greg Abbott in a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle. In their letter, the students write, “Our job is to be good students. Your job is to keep us safe. You have failed at your job." They close by asking, “We are dying on your watch. What will you do about it?”

   • Read their letter and sign your name to remind Governor Abbott that he needs to protect young people from the gun violence that devastates communities across America every single day.

3. Call Congress.

   Yes, this actually makes a difference. The House has passed meaningful gun safety legislation and the Senate refuses to bring the bills to the floor for a vote. Call Senators blocking gun reform legislation in Washington and let them know that enough is enough.

   • We are encouraging folks to call Texas Senators first, Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. John Cornyn. 

   • Call (202) 224-3121 and a switchboard operator will connect you to the correct office.

   • Here is a full list of Senators blocking action.

We will have more steps for folks in the coming days, and please do not hesitate to reach out to our team if we can help. 

In solidarity,

Team Becca
