Suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in CO. As I travel across all corners of our state, holding roundtables & hearing from constituents – especially high school students – the topic of suicide comes up in almost every conversation. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
Whether you're a farmer living on the Eastern Plains or working in downtown Denver, we’ve all been impacted by suicide. We have to be able to talk about it in order to destigmatize mental health issues & save lives. You’re not alone, the Lifeline @800273TALK can help.
The higher the gun ownership, the higher the suicide rate in our youth. Two of my friends committed suicide in high school with their father’s unsecured guns.
Stand up to the @NRA
Stop accepting their $$$$

You've actively worked against legislation to increase accessibility to mental healthcare, especially in rural areas where incidences of suicide are higher and you've actively worked against any legislation to reduce access to guns. You don't care about suicide prevention.
Hearing from constituents? How does that happen when you sneak in & out of town with letting anyone know? Just like you did in Durango last week.
You know what reduces the suicide rate? Reducing access to guns. Note: this doesn't reduce suicide attempts, just the number of attempts that are successful.
Protect any trans students lately?
