TO: As many Alabamians as we can tweet to:
EVERYTOWN (website at https://everytown.org/who-we-are/) is a movement of Americans working together to end gun violence and build safer communities.
For too long, change has been thwarted by the Washington gun lobby and by leaders who refuse to take common-sense steps that will save lives.

If you will lend a helping hand in this effort, please follow Steps One and Two below.
