Cleopatra Crowley-Pendleton’s 15-year-old daughter Hadiya performed at President Obama’s inauguration. A week later she was murdered with a gun.

No parent should have to go through such heartbreak.

Please watch this powerful TV ad Cleo recorded calling on Congress to require background checks for all gun sales — then share it with your friends and family:

Members of Congress are back home for the next week, talking to their constituents about gun reform and other important issues. This is a good time to start a conversation in your community about common sense laws that could save countless lives.

Please forward this email to your friends and family or share Cleo’s video on Facebook or Twitter:
