Take Action Now: Ask your Members of Congress to co-sponsor the ARMAS Act of 2025 – H.R.6736, S.3508
Gun trafficking from the United States is fueling deadly violence across Latin America and the Caribbean, with devastating consequences in countries like Haiti and Mexico. The ARMAS Act of 2025 would restore oversight, strengthen transparency, and hold U.S. arms exporters accountable, helping prevent weapons from falling into the hands of criminal gangs. Urge your Members of Congress to co-sponsor the ARMAS Act and take a critical step toward reducing violence and protecting lives across the region.
On December 16, 2025, Representative Castro introduced the ARMAS Act in the House – HR. 6736 – and Senator Murphy introduced the bill in the Senate – S.3508. We encourage everyone to utilize our congressional letter template and telephone script to ask your Members of Congress to fully support this bill.
Thank you for your continued support.
