Please watch this powerful ad.
Gun violence is the number one killer of kids in America.
More than car accidents.
More than cancer.
And this gruesome reality is not one we have to accept.
As an American, as a mom, as a human being, I refuse to accept it.

Excuse me for stating the obvious truth.  I do so out of love for this country and the pain of learning, once again, that children have been killed by gun violence. If we as a country want to find the collective will within ourselves to change our gun laws, let’s stop playing silly political games.  Show the carnage on the news.  Show the American people the dead children and others who have been struck down.  Show us what guns and bullets can do to the human body.
The news media need to be brave enough to let Americans see what slaughtered children look like. Otherwise, I fear that too many perceive gun violence as an abstract; a story that’s repeated nearly every day to numbing effect. When I was a teenager, there was a war in Vietnam.  In the beginning, no one paid much attention to this problem in a foreign land until the media shouldered the responsibility and showed America how our sons were being slaughtered.  Once those images were shown on TV, there was overwhelming demand for that  war to be ended immediately.
I say this as a father and a human being, with deep empathy for the parents whose children have had their lives ended so suddenly and so senselessly: Show America the carnage. I am not being callous, and I know it will be painful to see.  But, sad to say, I think it’s the only way to shock America out of its stupor. #GunControlNow #GunViolence #Empathy #gunlaws #change

Roland Gutierrez understands that abortion rights are under a full, sustained assault by Republicans, and we believe he will fight back with all he's got - one of many reasons we have endorsed his run for the U.S. Senate. https://t.co/6CFIidunI9 @RolandForTexas #AbortionRights

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

I don’t hate him for liking this song, I feel sorry for him. It must be terrifying to live in a world where you are afraid of anything different from you.

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

I’m running for the U.S. Senate to fight back against the systems that have left so many Texans behind.

Ted Cruz abandoned Texas long before he left us to die in the winter storm.

Uvalde happened because Republicans neglected the systems in this state that are supposed to keep us safe.

It’s time we turn frustration into action! If you want to make a better Texas, this campaign is for you.

[Margaret F Wallace @legemom]

👏👏so proud of my boss. It was a good day in the Texas Senate.

[Senator Roland Gutierrez @RolandForTexas]

The approved Senate budget is a WIN for taxpayers and teachers!

Homeowners get an exemption up to $100k & our amendment to give teachers a $2000-$6000 bonus per year passed unanimously.

And we are STILL fighting for teacher pay raises! We can do more and will do more. #txlege #txed
