My thoughts and prayers are with the 10 victims, family and friends of the Santa Fe High School community in Texas. Please come out today to continue our effort to get the Trump Administration and leaders in Congress to take action against the continued gun violence in our schools. We are tired of putting out condolence statements, only to wait for the next one. Let's together demand change, and keep guns out of the hands of the wrong people.
See below for details of this White House Rally today, and other events.
Thank you.
