This National Gun Violence Survivors Week, we should not tolerate that every day 12 children die from gun violence and another 32 are shot and injured in the US everyday.
We must recommit to doing all we can to eliminate gun violence in our communities.
#GVSurvivorsWeek
Roughly half the room are *new Moms Demand Action volunteers. Grandparents, parents, and educators who’ve had ENOUGH in Missouri. #GVSurvivorsWeek
I was held at gunpoint and pulled out of my car by my purse strap which had wrapped around my neck by a group of teens who should have never had that gun. I still tense up when someone runs up behind me. #GVSurvivorsWeek
Our Jacksonville Moms Demand Action group gathered at the beach today to embrace, support, and remember those impacted by gun violence. #GVSurvivorsWeek
Congress cannot stand aside as mass shootings unfold across the United States.
Failure to act is not an option. Here’s what my colleagues and I are working on this #GVSurvivorsWeek :
Too many Texans have lost someone to gun violence.
One of them is Freda Brown.
Her daughter, Sherrell, was murdered by her ex in Waco, TX. She was shot 5 times, leaving behind 3 young children.
Gun violence isn't just a statistic - it's a crisis.
#GVSurvivorsWeek
Jacksonville Moms Demand Action held a beach vigil & sound bath to honor #GVSurvivorsWeek . We shared stories, we wrote names in the sand, we hugged, cried, laughed and felt all the emotions. Tomorrow, we will continue to honor with action together.
Just because gun violence is common in our country DOESN'T MAKE IT NORMAL.
We can and must do more to protect our communities. Join me and national advocacy groups on Jan. 26 for the #GVSurvivorsWeek Action Summit on Capitol Hill. Info & RSVP at tinyurl.com/IveySummit.

Gun violence in any form leaves an enduring mark on the lives of those who are impacted. We felt this after the Old National Bank shooting in Louisville & unfortunately, many days since.
This #GVSurvivorsWeek , my heart is with everyone impacted by gun violence.
During #GVSurvivorsWeek , I’m sharing my story – one that is too familiar to millions of American families – and continuing my efforts for reforms that will help #endgunviolence .
Over the past decade, the firearm suicide rate among young people has increased faster than in any other age group.
We are facing a youth suicide crisis—and it demands action. The lives of our children and our future is at stake. #GVSurvivorsWeek
Parents should not be afraid to send their children to school, and kids shouldn’t have to worry about being shot in class.
During #GVSurvivorsWeek we must continue to support survivors and work to end gun violence.
I donated blood at Miller Keystone blood center in Pittston as part of our Moms Demand Action Action blood drive to honor gun violence victims during national Gun Violence Survivors Week!

This #GVSurvivorsWeek I remember my friend Gabe Zimmerman who was murdered in a mass shooting at a constituent event held by my boss and mentor Gabrielle Giffords 12 years ago. I miss Gabe every day but especially in February. 1/🧵

During #GVSurvivorsWeek we must continue to support survivors and work to end gun violence.
These two are victims of gun violence. My mother loved my nephew with all her heart, yet 10-1/2 yrs ago she took his life then took hers, using a gun. The ripples of grief, anger and pain is beyond comprehension. I miss them so much. #GVSurvivorsWeek Moms Demand Action Everytown
#MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns are declaring this #GVSurvivorsWeek .
For too many St. Louisans, this pain hits close to home. I’ve lost loved ones to gun violence - my son almost became a victim himself years ago.
We are working every day to get illegal guns off our streets.
