New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg is backing a group called Demand a Plan, which yesterday released an ad featuring survivors of the 2011 Tucson shooting demanding action from Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. The ad notes that at current rates there will be 48,000 gun deaths during the next presidency, or "three Aurora shootings every day."

Unlike many news organizations, the Prospect has remained staunchly committed to keeping our journalism free and accessible to all. We believe that independent journalism is crucial for a functioning democracy—but quality reporting comes at a cost. From Trump’s threat to the free press to Musk’s influence on our democracy, there is too much at stake in 2025 to stop now.
We’re behind on our goal to raise $75,000 to continue delivering the hard-hitting investigative journalism you’ve come to expect from us. Your support helps us maintain our independence and dig deeper into the stories that matter most.
We need you to make a year-end contribution today. Any amount helps secure our future and ensure we can continue holding power to account.
