Sarah Carda was killed in a horrific act of gun violence by her husband who authorities say had a pending domestic violence case and was subject to a no-contact order involving her. He never should have had access to a gun. #DVAM etwn.us/3FvqW57

We’re so excited to be at the #WhiteHouse celebrating the passage of the Safer Communities Act. For nearly 3 decades, advocates have worked for this moment. Our Texas communities know the pain of gun violence, and we are honored to represent our state here today. #EndGunViolence

Stalking isn’t just a “one off” event – it’s two or more behaviors directed at a specific person (or persons) that cause fear. Those behaviors can be in-person, through technology, or some combination. #NSAM2022 #KnowItNameItStopIt

I’m grateful to our partners @Constable_5 and @atcfvtf. Earlier this year we announced a partnership with @Constable_5 to keep guns away from the people most at risk of committing violence against their intimate partner.    Together we can work to prevent DV #every1knowssome1
