Earlier this week, a young man walked into an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas and opened fire, killing 19 innocent children and 2 teachers.
Enough is enough. Families should not be afraid to send their children to school. Teachers should not fear for their own lives when walking into the classroom. A parent's worst nightmare became a reality in Texas yesterday, and it's because we as a nation have failed to take action on gun violence.
We can't continue to live like this. It has to stop. Yet the defenders of the status quo -- the gun manufacturing lobby and Republican politicians -- will tell you that horrific acts of violence like these are beyond our control.
I am telling you today that this could not be further from the truth. Every day we fail to take action, we choose this fate. Every day politicians fail to acknowledge and act on this crisis, they allow our gun violence crisis to take more lives.
I am asking you to have the courage to act today. For every individual whose life has been cut short by the epidemic of gun violence in our country.
Together, we have the power to prevent gun violence and save lives. Stand up to the gun lobby and sign your name in support of common-sense gun legislation.
