13 years – and yet every year since Sandy Hook, more parents join the growing cohort of families who grieve losing their child to a school shooting.
We can end this. Thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. The time for policy and action has been overdue for years.

Even after 13 years, the searing pain & grief remains real. At the Sandy Hook firehouse on that December 14, I saw loved ones learn that their 20 beautiful children & 6 great educators would never be coming home. We must honor them with action.

Thirteen years ago, 20 children and six educators were killed in a horrific shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Our students deserve to grow up and go to school without fear. I will keep fighting for policies that keep our communities safe from acts of senseless gun violence.

As we mourn the terror attack in Australia today, we honor the lives lost at Sandy Hook and keep working so gun violence isn't the leading cause of death for kids in our nation.

Thirteen years later, communities are still being torn apart by gun violence—and the weight of that loss continues to demand action. We must not stop fighting until the job is done.

Yesterday, 2 students were killed & 9 others were injured at Brown University. School shootings shouldn’t be the norm, but the inaction of our lawmakers puts every student at risk. @Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter was killed in Parkland, spoke with MSNow about the tragedy.

Sandy Hook should have been the turning point.
Instead, 13 years later, gun violence continues to terrorize our communities, as we saw again at Brown yesterday.
We have to act now—and stop accepting this as normal.

Words can’t express my rage. At least 2 students on lockdown at Brown University already survived mass shootings.
Zoe Weissman survived Parkland in 2018.
Mia Tretta was shot in the stomach in Santa Clarita in 2019 and watched her best friend be murdered.
And now…again.
