Everytown Expands Clout Through Mother-Powered Gun Safety
A Bloomberg backed gun control group led by activists and donors expands influence across the states. Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action have helped push background checks in six states since 2013 and blocked pro gun legislation, leveraging money allies and a nationwide network of supportive mothers. The group grew from a merger of Mayors Against Illegal Guns and Moms Demand Action, backed by a $50 million pledge and large donor base, to rival NRA's reach.
