But we're not stopping at 600,000. So this weekend, folks in Brooklyn are getting together to ask their friends and neighbors to sign on and make their voices heard, too. Will you help out?

Here are the details:

When: Saturday, May 4th 1:00 pm

RSVP now:

Something you should know about this petition: It's not just addressed to the Senate. We're letting everyone in Congress know that we will hold them accountable -- they have the power to do something real to help prevent gun violence, and we won't let them get away with refusing to act.

OFA will be personally delivering the petition signatures to congressional leaders next week -- so there's still time to sign it:

[url] Come out on Saturday to make sure people who care about reducing gun violence where you live get a chance to sign this petition:

It's all hands on deck. Thanks for being a part of this.

We have to keep the pressure on Congress to move on background checks -- and only you can hold your members of Congress accountable.

It's a make-or-break moment for our movement -- a real test of our commitment to keep fighting, even when it gets hard, for the things we believe in.
