RICHARD MARTINEZ, FATHER OF UCSB SHOOTING VICTIM, TO JOIN IOWA MOMS

3,684 #NotOneMore Postcards Will Be Delivered to Senator Grassley, 939 to Rep. Latham and 531 to Rep. King; Nearly 2.5 Million Postcards Will Be Delivered to Elected Officials Across the Country

Just weeks after Richard Martinez carried his message that "Not One More" American should be killed by senseless gun violence to the country's political leaders in his first visit to Washington, DC since his son Christopher Michaels-Martinez was killed in the Santa Barbara tragedy, he will join the Iowa chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and other gun violence survivors on Tuesday, July 1 to deliver 3,684 postcards to Senator Grassley and 939 to Representative Latham at 10:30 AM, and deliver 531 postcards to Representative King at 1:10 PM.

These postcards are part of the nearly 2.5 million postcards that were inspired by Martinez's words: "I'm going to ask every person I can find to send a postcard to every politician they can think of with three words on it: 'Not one more.'  People are looking for something to do. I'm asking people to stand up for something. Enough is enough."

Upon hearing Martinez's call to action, Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America launched a postcard campaign that makes it easy for Americans to automatically send postcards to their elected officials. More than 625,000 Americans signed up and for each one of them, Everytown will deliver postcards to each individual's U.S. House representative, two U.S. Senators and governor - this means that nearly 2.5 million postcards will be delivered to demand that political leaders take action to end gun violence.
