On December 21, 2025, our lives changed forever. We lost our beloved Jaleeyah “Lee Lee” Tune to a senseless act of gun violence. No parent should ever have to endure the heart-wrenching pain of burying their child. Jaleeyah was a bright, joyful soul, loved by everyone who knew her, and her life was tragically cut short. This indescribable loss has fueled our determination to advocate for change, so others will not have to face the unimaginable sorrow we now carry. The increasing epidemic of gun violence is a crisis we cannot ignore. Each year, thousands of children are lost to gun violence in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), firearms are now the leading cause of death among American children and teens, surpassing car accidents. In 2020 alone, over 4,300 young lives were tragically ended due to gun violence. The time for action is now. We are calling for comprehensive gun reform laws that prioritize the safety of our children above all else. We propose stringent background checks for all gun purchases, a mandatory waiting period, and restrictions on high-capacity magazines. Strengthening safe storage laws is also crucial to prevent access by children and unauthorized users. By enacting these changes, we can reduce the risk of unnecessary tragedies and protect our communities. Implementing these measures will require cooperation from lawmakers and community leaders to create a safer environment for our children. The issue of gun violence extends beyond politics—it is a human rights concern. Every child's life is precious, and it is our obligation to ensure they grow up free from the fear of violence. We must act as a united force to demand our legislators prioritize the lives of our children and families. Let's honor Jaleeyah's memory by taking a stand against gun violence and advocating for reform laws that reflect the value of life. Our children deserve a future filled with hope and security, not fear and loss. Please join us in this critical mission. Sign this petition to urge our representatives to implement meaningful gun reform laws and safeguard the future of our children and communities. Together, we can make a difference.
