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.

Because of the damage the bullet caused to the left hemisphere of my brain, where the language function sits, I have aphasia. This means that even though the words are in my head, I have a hard time getting them out.

Aphasia may make it harder for me to speak. But I have not lost my voice.

In addition to speech therapy and physical therapy, I dedicate much of my time to riding my bike, playing my French horn, and practicing yoga. These activities have helped me so much in my recovery journey.

[link removed] [[link removed]]I know sometimes the challenge of ending gun violence in our nation can feel overwhelming. When we see the headlines after a mass shooting — or when we remember the countless tragedies that don’t make the news every day — I know how hard it can be.

But we cannot give up. I have found my recovery journey and the fight to end gun violence to be very similar. Even on the hardest days, we can never lose hope.

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. So this is where I need to ask for your help:
