The horrific mass shooting the El Paso community suffered this weekend was an act of domestic terrorism and white supremacy. My heart breaks for the victims in El Paso, in Dayton, and other communities across the country who lost loved ones due to gun violence in the past week.
We cannot sit by while our communities are ripped apart by gun violence.
I’m asking you to call these vile acts by their names.
I’m asking you to confront the hatred that took the lives of dozens of Americans.
And then, I’m asking you to join me in doing something about it.
Whether it’s giving blood, or giving to an organization dedicated to ending gun violence, please consider taking action at any of the links below:
House Democrats and I sent Mitch McConnell legislation to prevent gun violence more than 3 months ago.
I’ve watched him do everything in his power to keep that legislation from getting a vote.
All the while, the carnage of innocent life is in danger of becoming an everyday-norm.
