Friends,

On Saturday, we lost five young members of our Colorado community in another tragic shooting — this time at an LGBTQ nighclub, Club Q. I’m thinking of the families and loved ones of those we lost and sending strength to those who were injured, the survivors, and Colorado’s LGBTQ community.

Hate-fueled attacks like this are especially tragic because we know more can be done to prevent them. We must do more to combat hate and protect our LGBTQ community, and we must act to keep weapons out of the hands of those who seek to commit acts of violence:

1.
We
need
to
build
on
the
bipartisan
gun
safety
legislation
passed
this
year
and
keep
dangerous
weapons
off
our
streets.

2.
We
need
to
address
our
mental
health
crisis
and
have
a
serious
discussion
about
combating
online
extremism.

3.
We
need
to
stand
firm
alongside
our
LGBTQ
neighbors
in
the
face
of
intolerance
and
discrimination.
It’s
on
all
of
us
to
build
a
state
and
nation
where
everyone
is
accepted,
respected,
and
loved.

Violence and hate have no home in Colorado, friends. Let this tragedy in Colorado Springs be a reminder of the urgent work ahead of us. Let us fight tirelessly to prevent more loss of life.

Today, I am asking you to split a contribution between One Colorado, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing LGBTQ rights in Colorado, and the Colorado Healing Fund, a nonprofit supporting the survivors and victims’ families.
