On Tuesday, an 18-year-old gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, killing at least 19 children and two adults and wounding several others. The shooting, which targeted a community that is largely working class and Latinx, is the deadliest school shooting since a gunman killed 27 people, many of them children, in the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012. The Uvalde attack, which comes less than two weeks after a gunman killed ten people in a racist attack at a Buffalo supermarket, is the 27th school shooting this year alone. The city is in mourning, with some families still awaiting news about the condition of their loved ones. If you’re able, here are ways you can help support the Uvalde community and press for gun-control legislation.
