I’m honored to receive an endorsement from @GIFFORDS_org! I'm grateful for their leadership and partnership as we advocate for common-sense gun control and gun violence prevention.
This year, we gathered in Houston for the 3rd annual AAPIs Against Gun Violence. Thank you to our partners united in the fight against gun violence. #EndGunViolence
Did you know? Most children who die by suicide use an unsecured gun Woke up to another message about a teen gaining access to an unsecured gun and dying PLEASE lock up your guns and give your child, your grandchild the gift of time
Arming teachers with handguns will not stop school shooters with AR15s. Nearly 400 law enforcement officers - many armed with AR15s - did not stop the Uvalde shooting & trained NYC police officers have a hit rate of 18% in a gunfight.

From day 1 @po_murray and @MisterAndyWong have stood up and by me + so many others in the GVP movement. Could not be prouder of the work they did at the AAPI conference + I can’t wait to see what we can support in the future. Love you all!

It was an honor to work with this incredible team/friends from @aapialliance @CAAsanfrancisco @HopeAndHealFund @MomsRising @DayaHouston @RiseAAPI to host the 3rd Annual AAPI Against Gun Violence Convening in Houston, Texas last week. I am looking forward to continuing to work…
Still buzzing from last week's @AAPIAgainstGV Convening where we had the privilege of hosting @GregJackson46 from the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Energized and committed, we're keeping the momentum to #EndGunViolence strong! Stay tuned for more.
Joined @VarunNikore & @Mizanur_TX for a panel about media's role in addressing issue of gun violence at the 3rd annual @AAPIAgainstGV Convening. So many great questions and remarks from the audience, which was full of advocacy leaders and survivors. Thank you for what you all do!
Our Executive Director was privileged to participate in the @AAPIAgainstGV convening in Houston, joining leaders on the “Texas Trailblazers” panel. It was inspiring to collaborate with AAPI advocates and gain insights on effectively engaging communities to prevent gun violence.
The important takeaway from day two of the 3rd Annual AAPI Against Gun Violence Convening is that 3/4 of AAPIs support gun violence prevention & we are building a coalition to ensure that our voices are heard.
Thank you to @GregJackson46, Special Assistant to the President Deputy Director, White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, for traveling to Houston to join us at the 3rd Annual #AAPIAgainstGunViolence convening to share the historic work done by the Biden Administration to…
Day 2 of the 3rd Annual AAPI Against Gun Violence Convening in Houston is kicking off with a conversation between @VarunNikore from @aapialliance & Rosie Nguyen from @abc13houston and Milanese Rahman from the @HoustonChron.
Today was the 2nd day of the AAPI Against Gun Violence Convening. We discussed the risks of bringing guns into our homes as the gun lobby markets guns to the AAPI community. The Virginia Tech shooter was a 23-year-old Korean who was struggling with mental illness. Guns in our…

These trailblazing women have been fighting to end gun violence in Texas. @lily_trieu from @asiantexans, Rep @VikkiGoodwinTX (TX House District 47), @KeepGoing_TX from @txgunsense, and @nabila_mansoor from @RiseAAPI are incredible warriors who have grit & perseverance. There is…
Be on the lookout for an official release of @CAAsanfrancisco’s report on the alarming spread of gun violence disinformation in the Chinese-speaking community following this program. Together can can advocate for systemic change! #EndGunViolence
That’s a wrap on this year’s @AAPIAgainstGV Convening! So incredibly honored to be part of a moment when we can take collective action & build movement for change in the fight against gun violence. Onwards to #EndGunViolence on all fronts. @CAAsanfrancisco
“[AAPIs] are the next market for gun ownership to gun manufacturers - they know AAPIs care about safety… plus representatives are not engaging with us. We can champion gun sense candidates, and provide in language resources.” @RiseAAPI Executive Director, Nabila Monsoor
“We brought [community members to advocate] for raising the age to buy certain firearms after the Allen, TX shooting - truly unprecedented. We activated people.” @txgunsense Executive Director, Nicole Golden #EndGunViolence
Texas Representative @VikkiGoodwinTX has championed gun reform in the state house and said “people want sensible gun legislation [in Texas]. #EndGunViolence
Asian Texans for Justice @lily_trieu shared about Texas specific AAPI demographics, and said “over 80% of Texas AAPIs want to see gun reform, yet there’s not enough engagement” with the community. “What are we doing to bring them in to build political power” around this issue?
