I am devastated that there have been another two mass shootings in our country this weekend — this time in El Paso, Texas and in my home state, Dayton, Ohio.
Enough is enough is enough is enough.
I know this issue is painful and if you are triggered and can’t read any further, simply join my call to action to stop gun violence now »
The victims of these massacres — some of them children — had hopes and dreams. They had plans this week to spend time with their families, to go to work, or school or church — and now they’re gone. They deserve more.
We cannot continue to offer up the same condolences again and again with no action to protect our communities.
I’m calling on the Senate to immediately end its August recess and reconvene in Washington to take up a package of legislation meant to stop these acts of horror and other acts of gun violence that affect every single American.
We need to pressure Mitch McConnell to immediately bring the background check bill we passed in the House weeks ago up for a vote in the Senate.
We need to pass an assault weapons ban.
We need to address gun reform as the public health crisis that it is — that starts with more support and mental health services for our children and students.
We need to end the xenophobic, hate-fueled culture President Trump has ignited and start to heal America — before another mother or child is massacred.
