    Today marks 6 years since 26 innocent lives were lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Since then, Congress has refused to take action. The 116th Congress will be different.

    6 years later and nothing can bring them back. 6 years later and still silence from a Congress of cowards. 6 years later and our movement is finally more powerful than the gun lobby. 6 years later and nothing can stop us.
