This Día de los Muertos, honor those we've lost by demanding action on gun safety.

Hi–

Each year from October 31 to November 2, Latinx communities around the country and Latin America celebrate Día de los Muertos y Difuntos, or Day of the Dead—a tradition commemorating those who have passed away.

This tradition offers practitioners a way to connect to the spiritual world and honor those who are no longer in the physical world. Día de los Muertos allows us to collectively build resilience and strength, reminding us that our struggles and liberation are bound to one another.

This Día de los Muertos, we remember those who were taken from us by everyday gun violence or the mass tragedies our community has endured: the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, the Walmart shooting in El Paso, Texas, and the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Join me in commemorating those who were taken by gun violence by demanding action on gun safety today.

Send a message urging your U.S. Representative and Senators to save lives and prevent future tragedies by banning assault weapons.

Feliz Día de los Muertos y los Difuntos,
