Today, the NYS BPHA Legislative Caucus marked Gun Violence Awareness Day of Action. I look forward to advancing solutions including my bill to stop the spread of illegal “Glock switches” and hold gun makers accountable. It’s time to #EndGunViolence in NY.

While you’re reading this
someone in the U.S. has just been shot. That’s the reality we live in. June is Gun Violence Awareness Month & while federal leadership pulls back, NY is stepping up. We’re one of 15 states with a permanent Office of Gun Violence Prevention. #gunsafety

Ten years ago today, nine Black parishioners - including a state lawmaker - were murdered by an armed man pretending to be a church member. Last week, four people - including two lawmakers - were shot by an armed man pretending to be a police officer. We need stronger gun laws.

An LGBTQ+ Pride parade ended in gunfire near New York City's historic Stonewall Inn on Sunday night, according to Mayor Eric Adams. abcnews.link/hVPr03E

Just hours after thousands of people lined the streets to celebrate Pride, tragedy has befallen the neighborhood around the Stonewall Inn. While we wait to learn the motive behind the shootings, my heart goes out to the victims, their loved ones, and the entire LGBTQ+

It is horrific that a day of celebration was upended by an act of gun violence outside of the birthplace of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. I’m praying for the victims and their loved ones, and have directed NewYorkStatePolice to offer assistance in the investigation.
