Got ahold of this this morning.

"If something needs fixing then lace up your shoes and do some organizing. Show up. Dive in. Stay at it. . . . I am asking you to believe not in my ability to bring about change but yours." - President Barack Obama, Farewell Speech
Spy,
Now, more than ever, it is imperative that we raise our voices. Today, we will inaugurate a President whose single largest funder is the NRA. Under President Trump, the gun lobby will be emboldened in their attempts to weaken the progress we have made.
We see this cultural shift even within Maryland. State Senator Michael Hough just raffled off an AR-15 to raise money for his campaign. While this action is legal, it is neither moral nor ethical. Our country and state suffer from an epidemic of gun violence. Our leaders need to get beyond partisan politics and find real solutions to reduce violence rather than profiting off firearms to further their careers. Read our response to Senator Hough’s raffle.
The legislative session has just begun in Maryland - here's what you can do to push back:
1. Keep opening our emails and Follow us on Facebook to keep up to date on when we will need you in Annapolis. When there is an opportunity, show up in Annapolis to demonstrate that you care. This ensures that our legislators know that while the NRA may have more money, they don't have more enthusiasm.
2. Watch for emails with opportunities to take action. We understand that many of you can’t be in Annapolis in person. You can still add tremendous value to this cause by responding to our action alerts and sending messages to your legislators. We will always provide pre-drafted text you can use as is or edit to your heart's content. Calling legislative offices is also more powerful than you might think... please don't hesitate to call on an issue you care about. Bookmark our legislator lookup tool.
3. When meeting with or writing to legislators who support gun violence prevention, insist that they become leaders on this issue! Let them know Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence wants to work closely with them if they are willing to step up.
We need your help to close the passion gap. As our outgoing president said: "Show up. Dive in."
There are other ways to invest in our work. Consider making a donation. We don’t have the funds to raffle off expensive gifts like State Senator Hough. What we can offer is hard work, passion and dedication.
It's time for us to lace up our shoes and get to work!
