UVALDE, Texas — For 19-year-old Sam Schwartz, arriving in Uvalde, Texas,"was unlike anything I've ever seen."
The Olivers' cheerful and athletic son, 17-year-old Joaquin, was among the 17 people killed in the Parkland, Florida, high school mass shooting in 2018. Patricia Oliver and her husband have become outspoken advocates for gun control, and each summer, they ramp up their efforts to mark their son's Aug. 4 birthday.
Through this unity, families impacted by gun violence could have a better chance at making the legislative reforms they're looking for, added Schwartz. On Tuesday, the"Guacathon" bus stopped in Uvalde, where 19 children and two teachers were shot and killed at Robb Elementary School in May 2022, in one of the latest school massacres to shake the nation.
