Over the past four months, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ gun control group has raised a hefty $11 million, Politico reported Wednesday.
Since then, they’ve built a membership of nearly 366,000 and received donations from roughly 53,500 donors, according to information provided to POLITICO.
“Our early success at building a powerful network of committed activists – and the strength of that network – shows that the issue of reducing gun violence in America isn’t going away,” said ARS executive director and co-founder Pia Carusone. “The hundreds of thousands of members and donors who’ve joined Gabby and Mark in just our first four months show that Americans know that we can protect the 2nd amendment AND make our communities safer. Americans want their elected officials to be honest and to lead with courage.”
