I #WearOrange for my beautiful son Alex Teves & all victims of GV. Alex was shot & killed in a Aurora movie theater while shielding his girlfriend from harm. 12 killed & 70 wounded that day by a mentally unstable individual who should have never been able to purchase firearms.

Today I spent all day waiting to speak to someone from the WH, and I “temporarily” failed. How many more shootings? The answer will only depend on our actions. Now It's my turn to say ENOUGH! Starting tomorrow I will only accept @POTUS to receive me.

On our podcast, @NoNotoriety founder @tomteves1 and @Team_Enough leaders @AalayahEastmond and @StephanAbrams discuss the importance of #nonotoriety. It is important to always uplift survivors and victims, not the shooter. 🎧Listen now: bradyunited.org/podcast/epis…
I encourage reporters and advocates alike to learn about the @NoNotoriety campaign. It was created by Tom & @carenteves to change media practices and remember heroes, like their son, Alex, and not the shooter. #NoNotoriety #EndGunViolence @bradybuzz bradyunited.org/podcast/epis…

Our hearts are broken once again by the tragic mass shooting in #BoulderColorado. Responsible reporting & social media sharing practices are crucial as to not provide the inspiration for a next one. #NoNotoriety #factsnotfame

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we commend incredible work of @carenteves As founder of @NoNotoriety, Caren has challenged way the media covered mass shootings and -- by denying shooters infamy they crave & placing focus on lives, families, & communities -- changed public perception.

My husband John lived by a code: country first. We are Republicans, yes, but Americans foremost. There's only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is @JoeBiden.

Donald Trump called our fallen troops "suckers" and "losers." They can't speak for themselves, but these 6 Gold Star families speak for our fallen. Here is their POWERFUL message. #GoldStarParentsAgainstTrump #VeteransAgainstTrump

Read Jeff Goldberg’s article in The Atlantic. How could anyone support Trump?

We are not willing to sacrifice 1-2% of New Yorkers. That’s not who we are. We will fight to save every life we can. I am not giving up.

My mother is not expendable. Your mother is not expendable. We will not put a dollar figure on human life. We can have a public health strategy that is consistent with an economic one. No one should be talking about social darwinism for the sake of the stock market.

Right now in America, it is easier to get an AR-15 than a test kit for COVID-19.
