Friend, my daughter Carmen was everything you hope and dream your kid will be. She was one of the brightest students out there, a talented musician, and she had a great sense of humor. Carmen had a bright future ahead of her – but that was taken away from her in an instant…

Friend, my daughter Amanda was a kind, loving person. A pharmacy technician studying to become a nurse, she was always committed to helping others – but she'll never get to achieve those dreams because she was shot and killed at Pulse nightclub in 2016. I'll never get to s…

Friend, 2021 is on track to become America's deadliest year for gun violence. So far, 11,718 lives have already been taken by senseless, preventable tragedies.  In the last few weeks alone, parents Yasmin Perez and Gyovanny Arzuaga were shot "execution-style" in Chicago; 5…

Friend: For years, we've been fighting for the federal government to protect Americans from gun violence – and now, we finally have a champion in the White House who is with us in the fight to save lives.  Since BAWN was founded, it's been heartbreaking to hear story …

We can't miss this opportunity, friend: Keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and people with a history of serious mental illness should be a no-brainer. More than 90% of Americans agree that we should federally require universal background checks – but last time we t…

Hey, friend. Did you see our message about Gov. Ron DeSantis? He's followed direct orders from the NRA and Donald Trump to put a halt to any commonsense gun safety reform – and I have another infuriating update to share with you today. DeSantis just signed a bill that will all…

Friend, that tragic day started off as a day of love. It was Valentine's Day, and my friends gave each other heart-shaped chocolates and teddy bears to celebrate. But everything changed in an instant. It was fourth period at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and I was in English c…

Friend, on February 14, 2018, I was teaching my students about how special-interest groups, including the NRA, wield their power over our government – when the fire alarm went off.  Moments later, my annual lesson about failing to pass gun control came to life: As I shephe…

Friend, on Feb. 14, 2018, I got a text from one of my daughters that said "shooting at school" – and since that day, my family has never been the same. I had two daughters at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School when a shooter opened fire that day in February. Between the …
