After the tragic massacre in Las Vegas, gun control is once again part of the national dialogue. And just like it was after Sandy Hook, after Pulse, it is in danger of once again being drowned in a tide of thoughts and prayers without meaningful action.

Congresspeople like Representatives Kevin Yoder and Lynn Jenkins walk the line drawn for them by the NRA. When the NRA approves, Yoder and Jenkins will support measures like banning bump stocks, devices that can make legal semi-automatic weapons behave like illegal automatic ones.

But taking tiny measures endorsed by the NRA will not solve America's gun violence pandemic. Why does the NRA have such clout? Because our Members of Congress "don't want to hear from angry constituents who are flooding their offices with telephone calls."  

This is where you come in. Together, we are the majority. Together, we will be heard. Together, we CAN take on the NRA and change the national conversation.

Can you join us Thursday at noon to back this important message?
