When we address gun violence, one part that is often overlooked is gun suicide. I felt helpless after my assault happened, and I went to a friends house and they had a unsecured firearm. I attempted suicide that night. @MomsDemand @Everytown @StudentsDemand #GVSurvivorsWeek

If you live in the U.S. odds are that you know a victim or survivor of gun violence.

By early February, more Americans are killed with guns than are killed in other high-income nations in an ENTIRE YEAR.

This is why the first week of February is recognized as #GVSurvivorsWeek in the U.S.

‘Absolutely repulsive’: Some House Republicans are now wearing an #assaultweapon lapel pin

U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) called wearing the pins "freaking sick," and noted "they are doing it during #GVSurvivorsWeek," the hashtag for National #Gun Violence Survivors Week. #gunviolence #gop #republicans

While gun violence continues to be the leading cause of death for children in our country, @GOP members are wearing assault rifle pins during #GVSurvivorsWeek. Shameful. https://twitter.com/repjimmygomez/status/1620878732738330629

Nearly 120 people die, and over 200 are wounded, by gun violence every single day in America.

❤️ Their stories deserve to be heard.

Join me this #GVSurvivorsWeek in uplifting survivors’ voices by sharing their stories.
