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.

5 years ago this was me & my best friend. He was a clown & I was a Christmas Tree. 14 days later we both got shot at school…he was killed. I fight every day for him, & I voted for him. Please vote those you love & not those who want to hurt them. #HarrisWalz2024 #Iloveyou #Vote

I was shot in the abdomen. Pregnancy when I’m ready may be difficult…if even possible. Trump stole my childhood when he did NOTHING to stop gun violence. I won’t let him take my future by him CONTROLLING women’s reproductive rights. That’s why I voted for Kamala Harris. Vote!

Voter: How would you explain your position on gun control to parents of school shooting victims? Trump: We need guns for entertainment and sports. Americans deserve a president who wants to protect our kids.

A few years after I was shot in a school shooting I got to meet and introduce @POTUS . He was kind, empathetic, and incredibly inspiring. He told me not just to keep going but to keep pushing for change, and that’s what I’ll do. That’s a president. 💙

A ghost gun killed my 14 year old best friend, left me with a bullet scar on my stomach, and our lives filled with trauma. The closing of Polymer80 is GREAT NEWS and will SAVE LIVES! #LetsGo #GunViolencePrevention #GVP #GhostGuns #GunSafety #EverytownForGunSafety
