Last year I was invited to The White House to introduce @POTUS . I wish I was invited for winning a spelling bee, or my GPA. I was invited because I was SHOT at school & I now push every day for a safer America. Fight for the things you believe in, the good people WILL listen.

This past week my college state passed an assault weapons ban. This should be important to ALL parents, students, community members everywhere. Way to go Rhode Island!

Taking down a MEMORIAL WALL is an intentional act to erase the stories and lives stolen by gun violence. #ATF #GVP #EndGunViolence

After I was shot, I went and interned for the director of the @ATFWashington . Together I helped put together the faces of gun violence display, to remind the brave people at the ATF who the fight for. I’m gutted to hear they have taken it down. #GunViolencePrevention #ATF #Gov

Thank you to all of you that helped us make this happen. THIS WILL SAVE LIVES msnbc.com/deadline-white…

mia_tretta's tweet card. The Biden administration sought to regulate kits for making untraceable weapons as if they’re regular firearms. Gun companies and groups went to court.

Pamela Hicks along with the other men and women of the ATF work hard to save lives. I know this first hand. This is a mistake. #Gvp washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

So many friends who lost someone. So many futures stolen. Use this day to remember this tragedy and to write your lawmakers and demand an assault weapons ban!

We are currently safe here in Los Angeles, but that’s not the same for many. Please keep California and our first responders in your thoughts. #California #wildfires

It was an honor to meet you, Mr. President. Thank you for everything you have done, we will never stop fighting.💙💙

Thoughts and prayers were never enough. I'm proud to have established the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention and taken bold executive action to keep guns out of dangerous hands and dangerous weapons off our streets. Congress, it's your turn to act.

I’m all for thoughts + prayers for many things but they clearly don’t work against school violence. How about instead we focus on healing + policy. Sending my support to the victims/wounded/survivors. I will honor you with my action. #Enough #GVP #PolicyOverPrayers #survivor

I was shot by a GHOST GUN. My 14 year old best friend killed by a GHOST GUN. They are a threat to all of us. @POTUS did his part to regulate, the @ATFHQ did their part to regulate. Tell your community leaders to do their’s. #Regulate #GhostGuns #GVP

Today marks 12 years since I last hugged you, heard you laugh, heard you say “I love you”. 12 years of missing you, grieving you, and still loving you. Time goes by, but nothing lessens how much we love and miss you, Dylan. You forever will be our beautiful butterfly. 💜🦋💜

My mom told me a story yesterday about having to call in a wellness check on a person having a mental health crises, & firearms in the home. Just a reminder that our work does not stop because of who’s going to be president. Our work matters more now than ever. #KeepGoing #GVP

Coming home from college is always great. Coming home to a giant party at our house in honor of our new Congressman elect @gtwhitesides and our returning Assemblywoman @Pilar4CA makes it incredible! Let’s go CA 27! #GVP

Last night we gathered in Santa Clarita to celebrate with many of the amazing volunteers who powered our campaign. I am so grateful for their efforts and I am honored to continue to work towards meaningful change on their behalf in Washington. #CA27
