Screenshot of text: “The role and responsibility of this committee is to make sure that we center who and what matters most to this moment, and that is truth and this is survivors,” Pressley said. “I think only by hearing directly from people who have been so devastatingly impacted can people understand and join the cause with us and link arms in this fight.
