ICYMI: In a rally, Popovich said enough is enough and urged everyone to register to vote to enact change.
– Hundreds of people gathered in Travis Park on Saturday to stand with the town of Uvalde during a call-to-action event in support of the victims and families affected by the mass shooting at Robb Elementary.
“Can we all agree that we should have background checks? We can all agree that an 18-year-old should not be walking around carrying guns. Those are the reforms we are talking about today, and for San Antonio to come together and to host it just on the outskirts of Uvalde, really speaks as to why the community here in Texas is ready for change,” Kumar said. “The time for action is now.”Popovich, another guest speaker, said enough is enough and urged everyone to register to vote to enact change.
“The first reaction of the people up on the dais there was ‘you’re out of line’,” Popovich said. “Who’s out of line? You’re out of line because you haven’t done crap and 19 more people were murdered. It’s just incredible, they think we’re stupid.” The event comes 11 days after the horrific shooting at Robb elementary, where 19 students and two teachers were killed inside a classroom by a teen armed with an AR-15 rifle.Ramon Contreras, a political activist and co-founder of “Youth over Guns” has been advocating for common sense gun control after losing his best friend to gun violence. He said the conversations that must be had are more than important.
