John, gun
violence is more than a political issue to me (and countless others).

I was 17 when I survived one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S.
history.

It’s been more than seven years since the massacre at my high school in
Parkland, Florida. And not a day goes by that I don’t think about the
friends I lost — or the generations before and after me who’ve lived
through the trauma of gun violence.

June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. But for me and for too many others
who have experienced it firsthand, every month is a reminder of what
happens when politicians choose catering to the gun lobby over taking
action and saving lives.

That’s why I helped launch Leaders We Deserve — to elect a new wave of
young, bold progressives who are part of the school shooting generation
and understand that “thoughts and prayers” don’t save any lives from gun
violence. Policy does.

We are building a movement to elect candidates who:

* Grew up practicing active shooter drills.
* Know what it’s like to fear for their safety in classrooms and public
spaces.
* Are done waiting on a broken political system to act.

These are the people who will pass universal background checks, ban
assault weapons, and finally treat gun violence like the public health
crisis it truly is.

But they can’t do it alone. Electing these bold candidates takes real
resources.

This movement isn’t just about one issue or one moment. It’s about
building power — real, lasting political power — in the hands of a
generation that’s ready to act.

Thank you for being in this fight with us.
