📢 Everyone deserves to live in a community free of gun violence
❤️ Uvalde: We see you, we hear you, we love you
Today is the second anniversary of the Uvalde tragedy. It is another reminder, like Parkland, Sandy Hook, and other mass shootings, that we as a community must stay strong and advocate for a community free of gun violence.
It's simple: everyone deserves to live in a community free of gun violence. Let us honor all victims who have fallen to gun violence and their loved ones with our people power action.
As champions for progress, we believe everyone eligible should be allowed to own a gun.
Our state and federal laws need to be updated to define eligibility better:
- Require background checks on all gun sales and ammunition sales
- Have a red flag law
- Prevent domestic abusers from accessing guns
- Ban assault weapons
- Limit magazine capacity
- Ban bump stocks
- Require concealed carry permits
- Restrict open-carry
- Ban firearms in libraries, schools, and hospitals
- Have a waiting period
- Allow victims of gun violence to have their day in court and that gun manufacturers, sellers, and interest groups are not shielded from liability when acting with negligence and disregard for public safety.

Shout out to all of you!
I want to shout out to everyone who sends me a message about grammar issues, spelling errors, or an error. I am grateful for you having my back. Someone said, "You need to let your staff know," but we have no staff as a people power group. No budget for fancy copywriters. It's just me- a mom and community member, in between life, trying to get the word out to you amazing People Power United members. Again, I am grateful for helping make People Power United better!
Everyone deserves to vote and thrive,
