Donna Shalala: “Today as we mark Gun Violence Awareness Month, we wear orange to remember the victims of gun violence. We remember…”

Today as we mark Gun Violence Awareness Month, we wear orange to remember the victims of gun violence. We remember Parkland. We remember Pulse and Charleston and Pittsburgh. We remember Virginia Beach. We remember the children of Liberty City and Sandy Hook. We wear orange to remember. We wear orange to remind ourselves that we must not give up until children can go to school, worshippers can go to church, and employees can go to work free from the fear of gun violence. We will not give up until universal background checks are in law and until the weapons of war are banned from our streets. Madam Speaker, we will not give up until this epidemic is over. ____________________
