We continue to share information about the Ulvade Community and as importantly what each of us can do to support it. Right now, the familias in Ulvade are leaning on each other, and we need to help them directly by supporting their local organizations. At the State and Federal Level, call your representative as well as Texas representatives and let them know you demand they change the gun laws in order to protect our children. Banning assault rifles and lifting the age requirements are two common sense restrictions we can demand. A constitutional right to own guns does not mean we have the right to murder innocent children. Eighteen year olds should NOT have the right to buy assault rifles, period. The Children and Familias of Ulvade needs us right now--take action!!
