Julianna lays the blame for the shooting on “every politician who has accepted money from the NRA.”

“I blame every politician who has passed the loose and dangerous gun laws that are in place here in Texas,” she said, adding that their “recklessness, their performative constitutionalism has led to violence and death.”

She singled out Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, accusing him of regularly stoking “the flames of extremism and white supremacy” and noting that the state had seen a number of major mass shootings on his watch, including the 2019 shooting at a Walmart in El Paso.

“Two of which primarily affected Latin Americans,” she said. “The same people he calls invaders and criminals.”

Throughout the Los Angeles region and across the country, students and teachers walked out of their classrooms as part of an organized protest after the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, where an 18-year-old gunman opened fire inside a classroom at Robb Elementary School. Students Demand Action, an initiative that is part of the Everytown for Gun Safety group, organized more than 200 walkouts Thursday across the country.

The student group was launched after the 2018 shooting in Parkland, Fla., and advocates for gun-safety policies. On social media, videos and images captured students participating in such states as Rhode Island, New York, Missouri and California.

In Los Angeles, students staged walkouts from Los Feliz to Woodland Hills.

Ashley, who founded the Students Demand Action club at her school, said she believed it was important to walkout today to honor the students killed in Texas and the people whose lives were cut short by gun violence, including the people killed May 14 at a grocery store in Buffalo, N.Y.

On Thursday, Ashley, with the support of her school administration, gave a speech during which she spoke about the shooting in Texas and named the victims. The school had a moment of silence and told the school the walkout would be held at 11:30 a.m.

Since announcing his candidacy, Walker has claimed to know of a cure for Covid-19, lied repeatedly about having a college degree, skipped debates with his former Republican primary rivals, avoided questions about his actual residency in Georgia and ugly episodes with domestic violence in his past. None of that stopped him from demolishing his competition in the GOP primary this past Tuesday, setting up a race against incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, a Democrat who also happens to be the lineal occupant of the pulpit once stood in by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
