Chop Wood, Carry North Carolina 8/31

Hi, all.

I wanted to reach out to anyone on this list who lives in North Carolina and may have been impacted by the recent shooting at UNC Chapel Hill. I know how traumatizing this must be for everyone there, and I want you to know that I’m so sorry it happened. You have my promise that I will never, ever stop working to elect gun sense candidates—in your state and in every state—and I hope you’ll join me. There is a way to fix this gun violence problem—not perfectly, but significantly—and we simply must keep fighting for lawmakers who have the courage to do it.

I heard from a subscriber who not only lives in NC but works as a librarian at UNC Chapel Hill. She wrote a letter today to your two North Carolina Senators asking them to do something—finally—about gun violence, and she turned it into a Resistbot letter so anyone in North Carolina can easily send it as well. It’s short and heartfelt (you can read it here), and if you’d like to send it you can do so by texting sign PTWQZY to 50409, or to @Resistbot on pretty much any social media platform. Follow a few prompts and out it will go.

It won’t change what happened, but enough pressure on our lawmakers may, eventually, change their votes.

OK, all. Hang in there and more very soon.

Jess
