It was so meaningful to be in Colorado last week for @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand Advocacy Day. Colorado holds a special place in my heart – not only because I used to call it home – but it also represents so much of the progress we’ve made as a movement. 🧵#10YearsofMoms 
The day began with an inspiring and powerful walkout led by @StudentsDemand volunteers where thousands of students and teachers filled Denver streets, marching to the capitol to demand action. But it wasn’t always this way in Colorado…
A decade ago when we first created @MomsDemand, extremist gun groups held tremendous power in the state legislature and stood in the way of life-saving action. (via @nytimes 2012):

After starting @MomsDemand and serving as a full-time volunteer for a decade, I’m stepping back from my leadership role at the end of 2023. It's been the honor of a lifetime to lead this organization and fight for gun safety while empowering women to lead.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Founders play an important - but finite - role in movements. We create a space to gather, but it’s the people who fill it who make the difference. And that’s the amazing @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers and gun violence survivors I've worked with for so many years.
It was important to me to step back so that others can step forward. I’ve always said this is a marathon, not a sprint. But the reality is, it’s also a relay race. And the time has come for me to pass the baton to other leaders in our organization and movement.
