6 years ago, we went to Pulse Nightclub — our safe space.
6 years ago, you smiled & told me to say “I love you” more.
6 years ago, with 19 rounds from an assault rifle, he stole you.
6 years ago, I never got to say goodbye.
6 years ago — and it still feels like yesterday.

Drew & Juan were the best of us. They loved without abandon and lived to the fullest. They should be here today.
It doesn’t have to be this way. We don’t have to keep serving our loved ones up as sacrifices. It can — it HAS — to be different.

Honor them.
Honor them with your unrelenting fight against politicians who dehumanize trans people just to see their fans froth at the mouth.
Honor them with your refusal to see our obsession with guns on every street corner as the only way forward.
Honor them with change.

On the anniversary of one of the deadliest mass shootings in US history, #HonorThemWithAction is encouraging people to take action in memory of the 49 people killed 4 years ago at #Pulse nightclub. Here are some stories of those whose lives were forever changed that awful night.
26-year-old Angel Colon took his first steps two months to the day after the shooting. ietv.co/37n1OLI
On the first anniversary of the shooting, survivors and relatives of those who were killed, including four victims' mothers, gathered together. ietv.co/30DaH2G
49 lost friends. 53 carrying wounds temporary or permanent. Four years after #Pulse, I remain assured that '#OrlandoStrong' was never just a slogan. It was a promise.
We promised to support each other, to love each other, and to never forget those we lost, nor those who are still with us.
I am inspired by the passion of the advocates who have turned tragedy into action; who saw the tragedy of Parkland and said "I know what you've been through, and I can help." #HonorThemWithAction
Three years ago, an act of brutality & hate stole 49 beautiful souls at #Pulse Nightclub. We will never forget the darkness of that night – but neither will we forget our commitment to #HonorThemWithAction.
Just a few short months ago, the House passed #HR8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, and H.R. 1112, the Enhanced Background Checks Act – legislation inspired by the courage of survivors & the persistence of young advocates across the country.
It’s time for the Senate to follow suit by holding a vote on these commonsense measures to prevent gun violence. #HonorThemWithAction #Pulse
