CW: This email mentions the topic of school shootings

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

John,

Twenty-one people were taken from us
yesterday, including 19 kids — the most innocent people in our society.
There are no words to describe how to feel as we mourn more lives lost to
gun violence, mere days after the atrocities in Buffalo, NY and Laguna
Woods, CA.

Our children deserve to grow up with laughter, joy, and play. Our children
deserve to grow up, period. How much more gun violence do we have to
suffer? We are completely drained and our communities need healing.

We cannot just go back to work or school today and conduct business as
usual. We have to stop. We have to pause. We have to talk. We have to
think. We have to love. If we do not stop and take the time required to
heal, the compounding tragedies we have experienced in our communities and
seen across the country will push us to our demise.

Our nation needs a reckoning. And right now, the American people need
Republicans in the Senate to work with Democrats to pass common sense gun
reform. We need Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema to eliminate the
filibuster, not tweet their thoughts and prayers — so we can finally pass
meaningful gun violence legislation.

The structure of our society is literally killing us — and it is on us to
stop it. And John,
if you're looking for ways to help today,
please join me in taking action, supporting the victims in Uvalde, and
fighting for a safer, brighter future for all of us:

* If you'd like to contribute to fundraisers for those affected by the
Robb Elementary School shooting, [ [link removed] ]GoFundMe has established a hub
here. Among them is VictimsFirst, a network of families of the
deceased and survivors from previous mass shootings.

Peace and love,

Jamaal Bowman
