President Barack Obama sent out a fundraising pitch for Organizing for Action to stop gun violence just, days after his visit to Charleston, South Carolina, where nine people were gunned down at a historic black church.

“We’ve had to come together as a nation too many times to mourn after horrific acts of gun violence. And right now, it’s not good enough simply to show sympathy,” Obama begins in the email to OFA supporters. “We need to acknowledge that there’s more work to do – that these tragedies have become far too commonplace. This is a conversation that folks need to have, and organizers like you are the ones who will move it forward.”
