Six years ago today, a shooter took 17 lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. It was a moment that once again shook our nation.
And sadly as we mark this occasion, we once again are confronting breaking news about a shooting at the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City. We hold these communities in our hearts today.
In the years since Parkland, our movement has grown strong enough to rival the gun lobby. In 2022, Chris led the effort to break the logjam in Washington to pass the first significant federal gun safety legislation in three decades.
But we know it is not enough. School shootings continue. Within the past year, we’ve seen shootings at schools in Michigan, Iowa and North Carolina, but those are just the shootings that dominated national headlines.
As Kansas City reminds us so clearly, gun violence happens every day in America, and we cannot get complacent or let up. We must keep the pressure on for federal action.
Universal background checks and an assault weapons ban are two of the most popular and common sense steps we could take. Few ideas have such broad bipartisan support from the public.
ADD YOUR NAMEEvery voice is important in this fight. Each person who adds their name sends a powerful message about the strength of our movement.
Together, we can make clear that if our elected leaders in Congress refuse to act, then we will replace them.
