It's National Gun Violence Awareness Month. JENNIFER WEXTON.


David, June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month.

It’s a time to remember those who have been taken from us in acts of senseless gun violence -- and a time to redouble our efforts to reform our laws so we can limit these tragedies.

I am thinking especially of the twelve people who lost their lives three weeks ago in Virginia Beach during a mass shooting. It’s also not the first time our Commonwealth has been painfully impacted by gun violence in recent years.

We owe it to Virginians -- and to all Americans -- to finally act.

The Senate is currently blocking a vote on a sweeping gun safety bill that we’ve passed in the House. Will you join me today and demand a vote that will help save lives?
When I ran for Congress last year, I took on the NRA -- whose headquarters are here in Northern Virginia. I made it clear to Donald Trump and those in his party who had blocked action on gun violence: change is coming.
This year, I was so proud to vote for the first major gun safety bill in decades.

We took the first step to ensure safer communities across the entire country by voting for comprehensive background checks on ALL gun sales.

Passing this in the House was only possible because of the work you did to elect me and other champions for gun safety.

But our work is far from done, and I need you to raise your voices again.

Sign your name to support bold action to stop gun violence. If all of you sign, the strength of our movement will be undeniable.

Thank you,

Jennifer
