On Sunday in Austin, Texas, 19-year-old Ryder Harrington and a 21-year-old were shot and killed in a mass shooting.
This marked the seventh mass shooting in Texas this year.
We will remember them and continue to #HonorWithAction.

Thank you @survivorsempowered.bsky.social
The deadly mass shooting in downtown Austin, the latest in Texas’ gun violence, marks the state’s seventh mass shooting of the year.
It is only March.
Different countries. Different causes.
Same unbearable truth: children are dying in schools.
Whether from war or from guns, classrooms should never become crime scenes. Every child deserves safety. Every parent deserves peace.
Nice drawing!
@timothysnyder.bsky.social You are so right as usual
Guns flow from US to Mexico, this must stop!

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Today we remember & honor the lives stolen and forever altered by the mass shootings at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas HS in Parkland in 2018 and Northern Illinois University in 2008 in Dekalb.
The Parkland shooter killed 17 people & injured 17.
The NIU shooter killed 5 and injured 17.

18 years ago, five people were killed and 17 more were injured in a mass shooting at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, Illinois.

"No one should be able to come into a store and, in two minutes, inflict so much damage to a community, to a family, to children."
8 years ago today, Fred’s daughter Jaime & 16 others were stolen from their families by a 19yo gunman with an AR15 in Parkland. I urge everyone to support the work these families are doing to honor their children & loved ones.
Honor them with action & join the fight to #EndGunViolence before it impacts your family or community. 400 million civilian owned guns have not kept us safe.
What are Republicans focused on today? Creating loopholes that allow weapons be sold without background checks, serial numbers, and basic accountability safeguards.
This is 12yo Kylie Smith who was among at least 8 who killed in the mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in Canada on Tues.
Kylie’s brother survived the shooting after hiding in a utility room.
Her father said Kylie was a light in their family.
In the aftermath of a trauma or tragedy, survivors of violence can experience symptoms of shock. If someone is experiencing severe symptoms, please seek medical help.
Survivors Empowered grieves with Canada. We & our partners at @giffords.org offer our free, online Survivors Toolkit to help the survivors of this shooting -- and all shootings -- in the aftermath of this horrifying act of violence.
