I wear orange for TJ, Buba, Cortez, Kevin, Ayriana, Tae, Zarek, and all of my family who lost their lives.

 

How was your weekend?

Yesterday, I attended a protest calling on our leaders to pass common sense gun safety laws. Together, we wore orange in solidarity to end gun violence and our children led us in marching and lifting our voices to fight for the future they deserve.

I wear orange because I am a survivor. I wear orange because enough is enough. I wear orange for TJ, Buba, Cortez, Kevin, Ayriana, Tae, Zarek, and all of my family who lost their lives. I wear orange because I love you, and I’m fighting for you.

We can’t keep accepting inaction. Every member of Congress who refuses to prevent another massacre needs to resign right now.

That’s why I’m running against Rand Paul, a Senator with a 92% NRA rating who’s accepted more money from the gun lobby than any other Senate candidate this year. Rand Paul has made it clear that he will always vote to please his donor friends from the gun lobby rather than save lives. 

Will you help me retire Rand Paul this November by chipping in today? The only way we’re going to end this cycle of violence is if we replace every Senator in the pocket of the gun lobby.

 I have directly seen and felt the impact of gun violence. On Easter Sunday in 2016, my younger cousin TJ was shot and killed during an attempted robbery. And since then, I’ve lost another cousin to gun violence each year. 

Guns are the leading cause of death for children in the U.S., and I’m determined to dismantle the corrupt foundation that the gun lobby has entrenched with Congress. Now more than ever, legislative and executive action is necessary to prevent future mass killings, of our children or otherwise.

I believe we deserve to live in peace. I believe weapons of war should not be in our classrooms or in our streets. But Rand Paul does not give a damn about our safety or survival.

In fact, he’s the number ONE Senator funded by the gun lobby and has blocked every bipartisan bill that’s been introduced to keep our communities safe. 

We don’t have to keep accepting inaction from Senate Republicans like Rand Paul. Will you chip in $10 right now to show Rand Paul that this movement is rising up to end his political career?

Thank you,

Charles
