Ending Gun Violence for a Safer, More Peaceful Nation
Held approximately 10 phone meetings and approximately 5 in-person meetings,
not including events

Defined our mission, purpose and vision in addition to creating brand and logo
Partnered with MomsRising on January 15, 2013 – the day following the
one month anniversary of the Newton massacre – to send 300,000
signatures to the Wal-Mart in Danbury, CT on Newtown Road, urging the
store, who currently sells military-grade assault rifles and high-capacity
magazines, to keep its promise to stop selling assault weapons.
Featured on the Today Show and Huffington Post
The ENOUGH Campaign catapulted into existence following the Sandy
Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, CT. Based in Stamford
and established by concerned mothers across Fairfield County, we
grew from 14 moms to more than 1300 mission devotees to end gun
violence. Here are some of our activities and accomplishments in our
maiden year.

nationally, and two media

The mission of The ENOUGH Campaign is to
protect our families and our country as we
advocate for more public awareness on the
issues of gun violence prevention in America.
Through legislative advocacy and community education, we champion stronger gun laws and
aim to transform public perceptions of gun safety.
¹ Because of an unquantifiable margin of error and possible overlapping, we have estimated our unique supporters to
the best of our ability.
