Thank you to hundreds of Americans from across divides who courageously shared their testimony this week. The filibuster can stop now, but the work remains. Watch a replay of the People’s Filibuster for Gun Safety: https://t.co/WAoF88iF7o
President Biden has signed the most sweeping gun violence bill in decades.
The legislation will toughen background checks for the youngest gun buyers, keep firearms from more domestic violence offenders and help states set red flag laws. https://t.co/tjDnVn3DzU
My recovery has taught me that it’s not the setback that defines us, but how we respond to it.
It's ok to be angry, sad, and terrified. I know I am. But we will emerge from this stronger and we will fight back harder.
We applaud members of Congress from both sides of the aisle for passing the Safer Communities Act, which is now the most significant gun safety legislation in decades.
With a bill passing in the U.S. House and Senate, it moves to the president for his signature. It remains important to keep listening:
"It's not something we have to keep enduring."

This is a Promise. To truly honor the lives lost by turning our tragedy into a moment of transformation.
To do everything in our power to be remembered not as the town filled with grief and victims; but as the place where real change began.
This is the Sandy Hook Promise.

Today, I lifted my voice once again, for the cause of Gun SAFETY!!! I have dedicated my life to stay on the frontlines. Here is my Testimony that was played in the SENATE!
BREAKING: The Senate just passed the Bipartisan #SaferCommunitiesAct with 65 votes—the first significant federal action on gun safety in 26 years!
The bill now goes to the House where @SpeakerPelosi promised a swift vote.
This is what the #CourageToAct looks like 💪.
