Alliance for Gun Responsibility – November 6, 2024

Posted on November 6, 2024

Like many in the gun violence prevention movement, I’m disappointed and disheartened by tonight’s results in the presidential election and what another Trump administration means for the chance of federal action on gun safety legislation. Our fight just became more urgent—and we need you with us now more than ever.

The challenges ahead will be immense, but the fight against a Trump administration isn’t new to us. While a chaotic first Trump White House stoked the flames of political and racial violence, we passed the most comprehensive gun violence prevention ballot measure in state history and checked off countless state legislative policy victories.

We’ve done it before, and we’re ready to do it again. Will you rush an urgent donation immediately to help us defend our life-saving progress and prepare for the battles that lie ahead?

DONATE $3
DONATE $15
DONATE $35
DONATE $50
DONATE $100
OTHER AMOUNT

Every dollar you give will be used immediately to support our advocacy, mobilize communities, and drive forward the policies that keep our nation safe. Together, we will counter the influence of the gun lobby and make sure our voices are louder than ever.

Will you join us in the fight? Your urgent donation today will help us protect the policies that prevent gun violence and save lives. Can we count on you to support the Alliance for Gun Responsibility as we enter this new and challenging era?

Your support is critical to maintaining and advancing our progress, especially when so much is at stake. Please, take a stand with us today—our movement depends on it.

We hope you’ll channel your frustration into action by donating to the Alliance today to keep our momentum going and continue our fight to save lives and eliminate the harms caused by gun violence.

Thank you for your unwavering dedication. With your help, we will persevere.

Sincerely,

Renée Hopkins

CEO

Time is running out to vote! Drop your ballot off at one of these ballot boxes: www.bentoncountywa.gov/government/elected_officials/auditor/elections/current_election/drop_boxes...If you know someone: a parent, sibling or friend, who doesn’t vote because they have a feeling it doesn’t matter.... Tell them to vote for their kids, to vote for their brother or sister, for their neighbor. It might matter to that other person and we are MUCH stronger when we do things for each other... not for ourselves. #vote #franklincountywa #bentoncountywa #tricities ... See MoreSee Less

    ADDICTION not only disrupts lives but also has significant social and economic impacts for the larger community. Opening of the Columbia Valley Center for Recovery represents a major advancement in the regional services needed to help address addiction challenges.

    In recognition of the opening of the Center for Recovery, the August 5 Badger Club Forum will feature an important conversation about causes, prevention and treatment of addiction. Two experts will consider what addiction is; the gap between what we know and what we do; what the community is and can be doing; what families need to know; and substance abuse prevention and looking to the future.
