On Tuesday, May 24, an 18-year-old gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas and killed 19 children and two teachers, wounding 17 others. This horrific act of violence is the 27th school shooting that’s occurred in 2022, and took place just 10 days after a shooting at a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y. that took the lives of 10 people. The event also marks more than 200 mass shootings in the United States so far this year.
The sadness and rage is exacerbated by the fact that children were the victims of such an atrocity. Adding to the desolation: the NRA Annual Meeting is scheduled to take place in on Friday, May 27 in Houston, Texas—just four hours outside of Uvalde. Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz are scheduled to speak at the NRA convention.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless during a time like this. But donating directly to gun reform organizations or the affected families; or calling or e-mailing your Congressperson or senator, can help. Below, we’ve put together a list of places to donate.
