Tell Congress: Take action to end gun violence.

Guns are the leading cause of death for kids and teens. Tell Congress: Protect our kids. Act to end gun violence now.

We all want our kids — and our communities — to feel and be safe

Yet Congress has repeatedly failed to pass commonsense legislation that would prevent gun violence. We deserve more than thoughts and prayers from our legislators. We deserve policy and action. 

Our faith calls us to protect each other

The Mishnah tells us that “one who saves a life; it is as though they have saved the universe” (Sanhedrin 4:5). As Jews, we have an obligation to care for and protect our neighbors.

How Congress could end gun violence

Every day, over 100 people in the United States die because of gun violence. Pregnant women, kids, and teens face disproportionate risk from guns. Congress could act to prevent these deaths — but so far has failed to do so. We need you to add your voice and call on Congress to pass legislation to prevent gun violence now.

In your message to Congress, you could ask your members to:

• Ban tools and weapons that make guns more dangerous. Pass legislation to ban ghost guns, assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and bump stocks.
• Make it harder for guns to end up in dangerous hands. Pass legislation to require gun buyers to pass a criminal background check, close the private sale loophole, ensure safe firearm storage, temporarily prevent gun access to someone in crises, and criminalize gun trafficking.

It’s time for Congress to act on gun violence.
