“My heart is broken over the massacre at the primary school in Texas. I pray for the children and adults killed, and for their families. It is time to say “no more” to the indiscriminate trafficking of weapons. Let us all strive to ensure that such tragedies can never happen again.”
- Pope Francis (May 25, 2022)
As the Senate nears a final negotiated bill on gun violence, your voice is needed! Please take a moment to encourage your elected officials to take steps to prevent additional mass shootings. If you have been directly impacted by gun violence, we invite you to consider including your personal story in your message.
