#ThoughtsAndPrayers is a project created by a group of W+Kers right after the shootings in Orlando, Florida, and in light of all the previous mass shootings.

It is a response to the tragedy and the slew of Tweets from pro-gun lawmakers offering their “Thoughts and Prayers” to victims and their families. Via a Crowdrise page, the fundraising project calls attention to the lawmakers’ “hollow” Tweets, and the power of these same individuals to do something real and meaningful to prevent gun violence in America.

Proceeds go directly to The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. These donations support metrics-driven and effective campaigns that work to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people. In fact, since 1994 Brady Background checks have blocked 2.8 million gun sales to prohibited purchasers.
