Friends,

Our nation’s schools should be the safest places in our communities, full of learning, fun and happy memories.

They should not be places of horror and nightmares.

Yesterday’s school shooting in Texas is now the third deadliest school shooting in modern U.S. history, behind only Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook.

Speaking is still physically difficult for me, but my feelings are crystal clear: I am furious.

I am furious with those who have the power to act and save lives but are afraid to do anything to end this uniquely American epidemic.

I know there are members of Congress who are afraid of what will happen if they cross the gun lobby and vote for any piece of gun safety legislation.

But I also know that fear is nothing like the fear those children in Texas felt as their lives and the lives of their classmates ended in a hail of bullets.

Or the fear the parents must have felt when they were alerted that there was an active shooter situation happening at their kids school.

Senator Chris Murphy said it best to his colleagues in the Senate yesterday, “What are we doing?”

Congress knows how to solve this problem.

Congress knows the steps we can take to protect our kids in their classrooms.

They know because this is the only country in the developed world where this kind of slaughter happens on a routine basis.

They just need the courage to act.

And if they do not act, then we must elect a Congress that will.

Michael Bennet has been a leader in the fight to make our communities safer from gun violence, and I am proud to stand with him in this fight. But we cannot do this alone. We need your help to get it done.

I will not rest until we have righted the wrong our elected officials in Congress have done, and until we have changed our laws so we can finally look our parents in the face and say: we are doing everything we can to keep your children safe.

Thank you for standing with me and Michael in this struggle.

With courage,

Gabby Giffords
