Lives Robbed: Stands Up
"We knew if Jackie was still here she would be fighting for her friends. And we had to do the exact same thing, fight for her." Gloria Cazares. Jackie's Mom
Lives Robbed: Stands Up is a 501(c)4 non-profit, formed by the families of the children murdered at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX. We honor their legacies by fighting to reduce gun violence, through legislative changes at the local, state, and federal levels.
"She's no longer here to make a name for herself and it's up to me to share her story. I want to honor her by bringing about change at the local level, the state level, at the federal level."
