[A graphic reading "Gun violence an 'urgent' public health crisis: surgeon general wants warnings on firearms." The logo for USA Today sits below the quote.]( This confirms what we've always known: Gun violence is a serious public health crisis that is plaguing thousands of communities from coast to coast. This epidemic has shattered families across the country, including my own. My daughter was murdered in the Parkland school shooting in 2018, and our family has never been the same. Every day, I wake up and join thousands of other survivors in using my voice and my family's story to fight for an end to this gun violence epidemic – but enacting real change will require that our leaders recognize the scope of the crisis and finally do something about it. There is so much our government can do to address this crisis and protect our communities – from putting warning labels on guns to banning assault weapons to increasing resources for mental health care. But none of that is going to happen if we don't elect more gun safety champions to Congress. [I am personally asking you to join Brady PAC and me in raising $10,000 by midnight to elect a gun safety majority and finally put an end to these senseless tragedies.
