We are very proud of @mattholden.bsky.social @emmaehrens.bsky.social @ellaseaver.bsky.social, Grace, Lilly, & Henry for sharing their stories. They graduated from Newtown High School this yr after surviving the Sandy Hook shooting 12 yrs ago as 1st graders. They honor their 20 classmates w/ action.

12 years ago today, I was six years old and barely even knew what a gun was. I got on the bus that day excited to go to school and make gingerbread houses to celebrate the holidays. Everything after was a blur. I remember hearing the P.A. telling us to lock our classroom doors and hide. (Thread)

🧵12 years ago today, my 20-year-old neighbor killed his mom at home then used an AR-15 to hunt & murder 20 first graders & 6 educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Since that heart shattering day, many of us from the community formed @newtownaction.bsky.social to prevent another tragedy.

This past Wednesday, I was honored to introduce Congressman Hakeem Jeffries at the 12th annual National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence. We will never stop remembering those we've lost, nor fighting to protect those we still have. #EndGunViolence @pomurray.bsky.social

Thank you to Leader @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social for attending the 12th Annual National Vigil for All Victims of Gun Violence to support the gun violence survivors & fighting to make gun violence prevention a priority for Congress. @mattholden.bsky.social @newtownaction.bsky.social

Honored to have been able to attend the DCCC new members event tonight representing @newtownaction.bsky.social alongside @mollyzatlukal.bsky.social. Thank you to all the members and members-elect who spoke to us tonight. It's going to be a long four years, but we will never give up the fight.

Since my neighbor used an AR15 to hunt & kill 26 children & educators in Sandy Hook in 2012, I have worked with these incredible group of gun violence survivors, students, & other grassroots advocates to end the gun violence crisis in our nation. Please follow & support them. go.bsky.app/Uzkm7kS
