National Anguish leads to Protests
June 2, 2022
An important text message from Gabby Giffords: she wrote this and shared the amazing photo above and provided a link to follow.
“You are not alone.
This is a photo from about 30 minutes ago outside of the NRA convention in Houston. Thousands of protesters are there chanting “VOTE THEM OUT!” and demanding action.
If Congress won’t vote to make our communities safer from gun violence, then we must elect a Congress that will. That’s work we’re committed to at Giffords, but we cannot do it alone.
Can you please use this link to make a contribution to Giffords PAC today? $5, $10 or whatever you afford — it all adds up when we’re all chipping in. http://giffords.me/3h7sv/868bbf”
Thanks to the power of the internet Casey Keith of Big Papa Foundation was in attendance at this protest virtually and is sharing photos from todays event below and link to view the protest yourself.
👉June 11th , 2022 there is a March For Our Lives March happening everywhere – and I am hopeful that every able bodied person in America will join a local march to send a message to Washington that we expect common sense legislation to pass through the U.S. Senate to solve the gun violence epidemic (we are suffering from). For lots more information on gun violence prevention visit www.Giffords.org and feel free to join the fight for Gun Safety.

May 28, 2022 Post NRA Rally Update from Gabby Giffords: 👇🏼
“Casey —
Yesterday afternoon, Donald Trump spoke at the NRA convention and delivered an all-too predictable response.
We need to arm teachers, he said. We need to harden schools. He said every school should have one door to enter. We need fences and metal detectors, he said.
But here is the truth:
It’s not the doors. It’s not mental health. It’s not video games or fences. It’s not about arming teachers or the layout of schools.
It’s the guns.
Specifically, it’s the access to guns by people who shouldn’t have them—and it’s the weapons of war we allow to be carried on our streets by 18-year-olds.
The United States of America is not the only country in the world that has more than one door in their schools.
The United States is not the only country in the world that has people who have mental health problems, or who play video games.
But the United States IS the only country that suffers through these kinds of mass shootings with this kind of regularity.
And that is because we are the only country in the world whose leaders refuse to take the steps we need to keep people safe from gun violence.
In 2022, we have a choice: either Congress can act to make our communities safer from gun violence, or we must elect a Congress that will.
That is our top priority at Giffords PAC, and we’re asking for your help to get it done:

Have a safe and healthy Memorial Day 2022.
