A follow-up email to the earlier one on gun control from Pete Buttigieg:

Peggy,

Yesterday, in the wake of the shootings in El Paso and Dayton, you heard from Pete about how our nation is under attack from white nationalist terrorists, helped by an unchecked gun lobby. If we’re serious about confronting this threat, we have to name it and act decisively to defeat it.

That’s why, today, Pete announced an action plan to take on gun violence and domestic, white nationalist terror in our nation: An Action Plan to Combat the National Threat Posed by Hate and the Gun Lobby.

Pete's plan has bold, innovative ideas -- but it doesn't stop there. Pete knows we need to build political power to enact and sustain new policy. This plan provides both, and we need supporters like you to read it and keep advocating for change.

Since Pete’s first message, nearly 17,000 of you called the Senate to demand common-sense gun legislation. This is a start, and we have to sustain our fight. Like Pete said this morning, the old politics of cut-and-paste condemnation and letting mass shootings fade from the headlines won’t work -- we need a new approach. Here’s what you can do now:

Keep calling your senators at 877-615-7198
Forward this message to your friends, family, and neighbors
Share the plan on Twitter to help us bring more Americans to this cause


By keeping up the pressure and demanding better, we can move past decades-old policy failures with a new approach -- and deliver the change our country so urgently needs.

Thank you,

Pete for America
