TRAGIC: Denali Berries Stuckey was found dead from a gunshot wound early Saturday morning in North Charleston, SC. She is at least the 12th trans person killed this year. 10 have been killed with a gun, and all 12 were Black women.
Our hearts are with the trans community as they continue to face disproportionate rates of gun violence.

Today, we remember the 49 people killed and dozens injured in the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history at Pulse Nightclub.
The shooting at Pulse—an LGBTQ+ nightclub—was driven by hate, a hatred for innocent Americans because of who they loved. The Pulse shooting was a horrific example of the hate-inspired gun violence that happens in America every day.
We demand to live in a country where we can be safe to be who we are, believe what we want and love whomever we want.
Now is the time to look to our history and prohibit open carry, before the next Charlottesville.
Check out today’s New York Times op-ed by John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety.
Three years ago today, 49 people were shot and killed, and more than 50 were injured by a hate-filled gunman at #Pulse, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Today, we remember the victims, unite with the survivors, and pledge to continue fighting for a world free from hatred. #DisarmHate
On June 17, 2015, a white supremacist opened fire during a prayer service at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, SC, killing the church’s pastor and eight worshippers. Today we remember the victims, hold their loved ones in our hearts, and renew our commitment to #DisarmHate.
We must work to #DisarmHate that is driven by prejudice against race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, gender or gender identity, or other core parts of a person’s identity.
When guns are are involved in a hate crime, they make threats more credible and empower hate-filled individuals to make fatal decisions. #DisarmHate
When hate comes armed, it can be deadly. From Pulse, an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Orlando, to a historic African-American church in Charleston, to a bar in Kansas, the common factor is that it is too easy for hateful people to get guns in our country. We must do more to #DisarmHate.
Saturday is the first day of National Gun Violence Survivors Week – when we ask everyone to shine a spotlight on the stories of Americans who have had loved ones taken by gun violence, who have been wounded or threatened with a gun, or witnessed a shooting.
We’ll be sharing the stories of survivors and statistics that highlight the impact of gun violence.
