From the Brady Campaign:
On June 12th, I went to Pulse nightclub in Orlando expecting a fun night out dancing with a friend. Instead the night turned deadly. I was shot multiple times. To stay alive, I pretended to be dead. Forty-nine others weren't so lucky.
I have a lot of physical therapy ahead of me before I can get back to my favorite pastime -- Zumba dancing. And I'll never forget how my life changed that night because of a man with hate in his heart. But I'm a survivor. That's why my friends call me #AngelStrong.
Today I'm in Washington, DC with my mom Mirta to share my story with members of Congress, and ask them to help me #DisarmHate. Many of them have already signed onto legislation that will help keep guns out of dangerous hands including expanding Brady background checks to all gun sales to prevent tragedies like the one in Orlando. But Senator Marco Rubio is holding out on us.
Please help me by calling him today. Ask him to help us stop the next tragedy before it happens. Tell him we need him on our side and ask him to cosponsor S. 2934 to expand Brady background checks to all gun sales.
Thank you,
Angel Colon
