Act against gun violence

Sat., Aug. 10, 2019

I am a typical teenager on summer break, but this past weekend, I traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with 2,000 other activists who are involved with Everytown for Gun Safety, an organization devoted to reducing gun violence. We were together at this conference when we heard about yet another horrifying shooting, this time in El Paso, Texas. Yet another community has been traumatized by gun violence. We must act.

Here in Washington state, we are fortunate to have representatives in Washington, D.C., who support gun sense legislation, but there is so much more we can do to keep our communities safe. Join Moms Demand Action by texting READY to 644-33 or Students Demand Action by texting STUDENTS to 644-33 to help us empower volunteers in other states to make sure that their senators support this common-sense legislation too.
