The shooting in #SutherlandSprings was among the worst in U.S. history.

3 of the 5 deadliest shootings have come in the past 2 years.

This trend is tragic. It's horrifying. It is NOT normal. And we need your help to do something about it.

I've made it my life's mission save lives from gun violence. I travel the country to testify, to organize, to raise awareness...

My recovery is a long, hard haul, but I work at it every day. The same is true with gun violence in America. We won't solve it overnight.

But together our voices & our votes are powerful. We can elect leaders who will protect us. We can save lives. We can build a safer future.

America needs leaders with courage. Leaders who acknowledge problems and marshal forces to solve them.

I'm heartbroken for the people of #SutherlandSprings. We owe it to them, and to the families impacted by every shooting, to take action.
