Hello Friend,
Four years ago today, the Las Vegas valley was rocked by unspeakable tragedy. As of today, the total lives lost stands at 60, with hundreds more injured. Their voices and stories must never be forgotten.
Our hope is that people impacted by 1October find healing through community support and activism. Many of the survivors have come together in support of sensible gun violence prevention policy within their community. The courage it takes to move forward is demonstrated in their ability to turn their pain into initiative to prevent future mass shootings.
Nevadans can be proud that we have passed legislation to address gun violence. Through working with impacted people we have seen ghost guns banned, background checks adopted and extreme risk protection orders enacted. All of these measures are designed to limit gun violence.
Supporting victims of 1October is crucial to our mission of stopping the impact of gun violence. None of the policy wins would have been possible without survivors who have turned their trauma into action. We need to hear from people who have been impacted by gun violence so we can continue to push for solutions. Please reach out to [email protected] to get involved in our StoryBank so your voice can be heard.
There are also incredible resources from Center For American Progress that you can share to encourage our leaders to take action on gun violence prevention policies. Advocating for these policies is one of the best things you can do to encourage change.
Stay safe and stay strong on this solemn anniversary,
