Julianne Moore penned an essay for People urging people to wake up after the Florida shooting. The actress is the founding chair of the Creative Council at Everytown For Gun Safety.

“After the tragedy at Sandy Hook School I realized that shielding my then young daughter from the news on the television was not responsible parenting,” she writes. “If I really wanted to keep my children safe I needed to do something, anything, to try to prevent this from happening again. I joined Everytown for Gun Safety and formed a group of actors and artists who would be willing to speak publicly about gun violence and take action with their legislatures. More than five years later, my now teenage daughter has taken action herself and formed a gun violence prevention club at her school, modeled on Everytown and Moms Demand Action.”

She continues, “Find out where your representation stands on these issues, ask them how they voted. In February 2017, President Trump signed a bill making it easier for people with severe mental illnesses to obtain guns. Yesterday, a young man with a history of disturbing behavior killed 17 people at a high school in Florida.”

Adding, “Hold our lawmakers responsible. And if they don’t do something, VOTE THEM OUT.”
