The mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, has revived interest in preventing such senseless violence — and in Texas, that impulse is translating into a rush of new supporters and volunteers for the state's Moms Demand Action chapter.
"Since Uvalde, we've had well over 20,000 people become supporters of our movement and at least a dozen people wanting to start local chapters of their own in areas that don't already have one," Liz Hanks who leads the Texas chapter, told NPR in an email.
