I'm heartbroken. I'm furious. And I'm asking for your immediate signature. Americans shouldn't die while common sense gun legislation sits on Mitch McConnell's desk. Sign your name next to mine and demand he act NOW by cutting the Senate's vacation short. Senators must return to Washington to pass this urgent legislation. >> action.julianforthefuture.com/page/s/gun-violence-survey?source=20190807_em_pet_b1_castro_all

I'm sick to my stomach.

A gunman opened fire on my community this weekend.

I realized that my family's lives could be put in danger while we go back-to-school shopping.

I'm heartbroken that this weekend -- in El Paso, and in Dayton, and in Chicago -- this was the reality for so many families.

And I'm heartbroken that, in too many communities, this is the reality every day.

But I'm also pissed off.

Because while Donald Trump fans the flames of hate and division...

While white nationalism festers like a toxic brew across this country...

While Americans are dying from preventable gun violence...

Common sense gun reform that could have stopped it is sitting on Mitch McConnell's desk.

I'm calling for a massive surge of support -- 50,000 signatures before midnight -- to demand McConnell cut the Senate's vacation short and pass this critical gun violence legislation immediately. Can I count on your signature? >> action.julianforthefuture.com/page/s/gun-violence-survey?source=20190807_em_pet_b1_castro_all

We are fighting both a serious gun violence epidemic, as well as a rise of white nationalism.

Thoughts and prayers are the only solutions Republicans have to offer.

But I'm completely out of thoughts and prayers.

It's now up to us to rise up and address both of these crises with the urgency this moment demands.

Will you sign your name next to mine and help me reach 50,000 signatures strong before midnight? Let's show the power of action behind our thoughts and prayers >> action.julianforthefuture.com/page/s/gun-violence-survey?source=20190807_em_pet_b1_castro_all

Thank you,

Julián
