Founded by Gabby Giffords in 2013, we’re on a mission to save lives from gun violence. Text COURAGE to 34131 to join the fight.
Fifteen years ago, gun violence tried to silence @gabbygiffords.bsky.social.
Instead, it sparked a movement that is still saving lives today — powered by survivors, strengthened by lawmakers, and made possible by Gabby’s extraordinary leadership.

@governorwalz.mn.gov has always worked to keep Minnesotans safe from gun violence.

We’re grateful for his leadership.

Minnesota has to come first - always.
Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids.
I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

Gun violence in America is a policy choice.
Year after year, our experts find that states with better gun laws have lower gun death rates. Yet tens of thousands of Americans continue to die every year, because some states refuse to take action. It’s long past time they put safety first.

The gun industry sells fear, especially to women.
Its manipulative marketing tactics only serve gun CEO profits and their dangerous agenda. This makes us all less safe.

For Brown University students Mia Tretta and Zoe Weissman, last week’s mass shooting wasn’t their first.
At 15, Mia was shot at Saugus High School, and at 12, Zoe lived through the shooting in Parkland. If this isn’t a wake up call, we don’t know what is.
