Team –

House Bill 1840, the critical Washington State legislation meant to protect victims of domestic violence from gun crimes, passed unanimously in the State Senate Thursday night.

This victory was hardly inevitable. Last year, a similar bill didn’t even make it to the Senate floor for a vote.

But this time, more than 600 Americans for Responsible Solutions members got to work and urged their State Senators to support the bill.

State by state, supporters like you are changing the debate on gun violence prevention and passing laws to keep our communities safe.

Our work in Washington State is far from over. An initiative to expand background checks for gun sales is headed to the ballot statewide this fall. We’re gearing up for a tough campaign and we’ll continue to be in touch with updates.

For now, thank you for helping build this movement.

All the best,

Peter Ambler
