Never thought I would be here. This is for you, Jordan. And for every single family impacted by gun violence in this country - let’s get to work. #GA06

Today marks seven years after my son, Jordan, was shot for playing his music. This is always the hardest day of the year for me. So this year, I want to share a letter I wrote to my son. Dear Jordan: [1/x]

3,058 days ago my son was murdered. I cried. I prayed. I picked up the pieces of my life and began to fight for justice. Today, I sat at the White House while our President took decisive action to keep our families safe. Jordan - we are winning our fight for gun safety.

National Republicans are now accusing me of "politicizing a tragedy." Let’s get something straight: I lost my only son to gun violence. I now dedicate all of my love for Jordan towards our fight for gun safety. Donate to help me continue this fight: secure.actblue.com/donate/0819soc…

The @NRCC is taunting @lucymcbath because she cares deeply about gun violence. Her son was murdered by a white man who told him to turn down his music then shot him dead at a gas station.

My son was murdered exactly six years ago to date. Every year, I am reminded that the title “reluctant activist” is painfully accurate. This year, today comes just two months before I will fight for my son’s legacy in Congress - but it does not make the pain any less. [1/4]

I spent the morning of my son's 27th birthday at his gravesite. Happy Birthday Jordan, I love you. I will not rest until our laws are changed.

Today marks 8 years since my son Jordan was stolen from me. Every year, I write a letter to my son. Read below - and remember there are still thousands of families in this country being torn apart every single day from gun violence.

(1/x) Hi NRA! It's time we clear something up. I won this race because - after my son was senselessly murdered in 2012 - I stood up to do something about it. I knew it was time to fight back. ⬇️ Stand with me ⬇️ secure.actblue.com/donate/0506fig… shareblue.com/nra-president-…

Jordan - you are my strongest ally, and will forever be my best friend. Today you turn 24, but the impact of your story will last forever. ❤️

I never planned to run for office. After my son Jordan was shot and killed, my life completely changed. This is my story -- please share it far and wide, and join me on this journey. -- With Love, Lucy

When I lost my son - I never could have imagined I would vote to pass gun safety legislation on the floor of the US House, but today I did. To the activists, parents, and everyone who fought tirelessly for gun safety reforms - this is the result of our organizing.

Six years ago I never imagined that I would one day be sworn into the United States Congress. Jordan - we did it. But the real work is yet to come.

Today is an especially hard time for my family. In 2012 on Black Friday, my son Jordan was shot and killed. I always spend this time of the year in deep reflection. I think about my son, my faith, and my family. [1/x]

9 years ago, I began putting the pieces of my life back together after losing my son. 2 years ago, I was sworn into Congress. Today, I’m sworn in to my second term. I would trade anything to have my Jordan back, but what he started is only just beginning.
