There are 180 days left until the Texas Legislature convenes for the 89th legislative session. In light of recent tragedies across the country, the stakes could not be higher. Starting today, it’s crucial that we lay the groundwork for meaningful change.
Honoring ATX Peace

Gun violence affects us all
This weekend, the entire country watched in horror as political violence erupted at a campaign rally. It is unacceptable that easy access to firearms has put our citizens in danger in the places where they deserve to feel safe. Photo by Scott Goldsmith for POLITICO
Let Me Tell You Something
I’m a gun violence prevention advocate, and as long as I’m on the planet, I am going to fight for a future without gun violence for all of us.
In April of 2022, I was hired as Texas Gun Sense’s Executive Director. I’d learned during a decade of advocacy that gun violence takes many forms — the mass shootings that hit national headlines (Texas has seen too many) and the daily violence that is so common that it receives little media attention.
Turning Tragedy To Action
This Gun Violence Awareness Month, we were honored to gather survivors to share their stories for the Turning Tragedy into Action: Stories of Hope and Resilience webinar. Thank you to our courageous speakers, including those who survived a shooting and those whose loved ones have been killed or injured.

Texas Is Less Safe
Background checks save lives by keeping guns out of the hands of people with documented dangerous histories.
Unfortunately, a north Texas judge is preventing it from being enforced in Texas. His ruling partially and temporarily froze the federal rule.
