[ [link removed] ]Gabby Giffords

Hello John,

It’s Gabby Giffords. On January 8, 2011 — 15 years ago today — my life
forever changed when a gunman attempted to assassinate me while I was
hosting a constituent event in Tucson, Arizona.

Six innocent people were killed that day: Christina-Taylor, Dorothy, Judge
John Roll, Phyllis, Dorwan, and Gabe. I’ll never forget their names.
Twelve others were injured.

That shooting turned my life upside down. The bullet damaged the left side
of my brain, where language is processed, leading to a condition called
aphasia. While speaking is still difficult for me, I have never given up
on my recovery journey, even on the most difficult days.

Tucson

The anniversary of this shooting is a painful one, but it also serves as a
reminder of the way that we can come together in the wake of tragedy. I
relearned how to walk and talk, and became a stronger Gabby — a healing
journey that I continue on to this day.

Two years after I was shot, another life-altering shooting occurred — this
time at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, where 20 children and six adults
were murdered.

I knew in that moment I had to do something, so Mark Kelly and I founded
GIFFORDS with the mission to end gun violence and create a safer future
for our nation’s communities.

When we founded GIFFORDS, many people warned us that it would be political
poison to stand up against the gun lobby. They had millions of dollars at
their disposal, and would use every cent to drown us out.

But the progress we’ve made is undeniable. We’ve beaten back the NRA and
made gun safety a winning issue, thanks to supporters like you.

Now, we face an inflection point. President Trump’s administration is
working to roll back our progress on gun safety — putting all of their
weight towards flooding our streets with more guns and helping their gun
manufacturing buddies profit.

I know we have what it takes to end the gun violence epidemic in our
country. But I cannot do it alone.

That day in Tucson captured national attention — a sitting Congresswoman
shot in the head. But the truth is that today, being shot isn’t rare. Gun
violence is a national crisis and now the leading cause of death for
American kids and teens.

Make no mistake: the fight isn’t over yet, and the headwinds we face are
stiff. But if we all keep working together, I know that someday, there
will be a future where we no longer live under the constant threat of gun
violence.

With courage,

Gabby Giffords
