"Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down" tells the extraordinary story of former Arizona Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, her relentless fight to recover following an assassination attempt in 2011, and her new life as one of the most effective activists in the battle against gun violence
The film shows her doctor explaining that the bullet went through the part of the brain that controls expressive language. At first, they didn’t know if she would ever speak again. Later in the film, we see her coaching her husband Mark Kelly on his first remarks to the US Senate. He may have the full power of speech, but she understands how to communicate. This documentary is about resilience and advocacy, but most of all it is a love story.
Learn more about Gabby Giffords & Mark Kelly with this award-winning film. Our free teaching resources for grades 9-12 can help you share it with your classroom or community.

Mike Davis, former member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Gabby Giffords to f*ck off because she said gun violence cut Sarah Beckstrom’s life short.
He then called her husband Mark Kelly a “piece of sh*t”
This is MAGA.
Gabby was shot in the head in an act of political violence
Her husband retired from military service to care for her
She’s an advocate for gun control and Senator Kelly is a hero for reminding troops to disobey illegal orders
Mike is a despicable coward for speaking to them this way

Mark Kelly survived someone trying to silence his wife - now Trump wants him executed for talking? At this point the GOP platform is just ‘Shut Up or Else.’ Keep speaking, Senator. Bullies hate sunlight.

It would be … “interesting”… to hear Dump make fun of #GabbyGiffords for being shot.
He wouldn’t be able to help himself.

Seems like it was months ago, actually it was only just a couple days ago, that so many on here were loudly and rudely coming for anyone that said #Biden needed to step aside.
It's so tiring listening to those who only know #fear and how to #Parrot #VoteBlue and are #complicit in keeping things held back from actual growth and positive change. Never mind actual #democracy
Some of us have the actual vision to see these changes. #Harris actually is now bringing some life into this #Election
Now let's see what happens if she chooses #MarkKelly as #VicePresident - i'm already seeing those #LawnSigns

Sen #MarkKelly & #GabbyGiffords: “Our lives changed forever on Jan 8th, 2011, when a gunman opened fire at a ‘Congress on Your Corner’ event in Tucson. 6 lives were lost, many more were injured, & Gabby was shot in the head. Of everything that changed that day — …halting our careers, the …long, difficult road to recovery — we also lost something we wanted very much: the opportunity to have a child together.
