I am a first-generation person living in the U.S.A. from China. I decided to come to the U.S.A. because it is well known for its liberty and individual freedom. I joined Moms Demand Action in 2018.

Last week, I traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with 2,000 of my fellow Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Students Demand Action volunteers leaders to learn more about how to prevent gun violence in our communities.

We were together when we heard about yet another horrifying shooting, this time in El Paso, Texas. Another community has been traumatized. We must act!

Here in Washington state, we are fortunate to have representatives who support universal background checks legislation. Join Moms Demand Action by texting READY to 644-33 to help us empower volunteers in red and purple states to make sure that their senators support this common-sense legislation too.
