John, there were devastating shootings this weekend at
community celebrations in Gilroy, California and Brownsville in Brooklyn,
New York.

On Saturday night, the Old Timers Day block party in Brownsville was
wrapping up when at least two gunmen killed one person and wounded 11
others. Over the 56 years the block party has been running, it represented
a time of peace for Brownsville neighbors.

Sunday night, news of an active shooter at the Gilroy Garlic Festival
spread across social media. Three people were shot and killed, and at
least 12 others were wounded at the end of another family-oriented
community event.

Shootings just shouldn't happen at events like the Gilroy Garlic Festival
and the Old Timers Day block party in Brownsville. We know they shouldn't
happen anywhere.

Not in schools. Not in places of worship. Not in movie theaters. Not at
festivals. The scourge of gun violence will only be stopped when enough of
us join together and take action. Today, you can take action. [ [link removed] ]Sign up
