This past year, gun violence has taken too much from Minnesota.
On Gun Violence Awareness Day, we honor everyone we've lost, and we keep fighting to make sure fewer families have to grieve.

Despite historic progress, we continue to lose far too many residents to gun violence here in Baltimore and across the country. These are families that will never again be whole, young people who will never get the chance to grow into their best selves, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, friends and family.
This National Gun Violence Awareness Day we stand together against violence in our communities and recommit ourselves to the work of advancing public safety across our neighborhoods.

Every day, the team at @ChildrensPhila's Center for Rehabilitation helps children and teens rebuild strength and skills after life-changing injuries. Some of the most devastating injuries are caused by firearms. The team is proud to #wearorange today in honor of their patients impacted by gun violence. #CHOPwearsorange

No other peer nation allows gun violence to steal the lives of so many of their children.
This crisis is uniquely American. Today on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we #WearOrange because our children deserve to grow up without the fear of being shot.

Gun violence is the #1 cause of death for young people—claiming the lives of nearly 4,000 children and teens each year. On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I met with Communities Partnering 4 Peace in the Back of the Yards neighborhood to discuss solutions to this epidemic.
