Gun Safety Pledge

Now is the time to reach out to your legislators and any candidates running to represent you about the Gun Safety Candidate Pledge. As constituents (or potential constituents), you are the perfect messengers to make gun safety a prominent issue in the 2026 election cycle here in Georgia. Contact Information: Find your elected officials (and your districts) here. Here is the list of candidates (sorted by district) for the House and Senate. You can find contact information for most candidates through ballotpedia, or you can always use the Georgia My Voter Page (it’s just a little more cumbersome).

Sample messages:

For incumbents (please personalize if you know them!):

“Thank you for serving as my Representative/Senator in the Georgia legislature. I am a gun violence prevention advocate and am dismayed that Georgia has not taken more steps to reduce the horrific impacts of gun violence on our communities. Georgia has some of the most lenient firearm laws in the country (44th according to Everytown for Gun Safety) and as a result, has higher rates of gun violence than most other states. Firearms are the leading cause of death for children in our state, but we currently do not have a child access protection law. The majority of Georgians support this and other foundational gun safety measures. I urge you to stand with me and the majority of Georgians by signing Georgia Majority for Gun Safety’s 2026 Gun Safety Candidate Pledge. Thank you again for your service and I hope that we can work together to make Georgia a safer place to live and raise a family.”
