Origin & Impact
On August 3, 2019, a gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 23 people and injuring 23 others in an attack targeting Hispanics. The shooter posted a manifesto expressing anti-immigrant and white supremacist beliefs before the massacre, sparking national debates about domestic terrorism, gun violence, and hate speech.
The hashtag became a space for mourning, solidarity with the El Paso community, and demands for action on gun control and white nationalism. It occurred during a deadly weekend that included the Dayton shooting, intensifying conversations about America’s gun violence epidemic.
