Gun manufacturers have found a way around Facebook and Instagram’s ban on advertising guns; they simply pay Instagram influencers to do their dirty work for them, and by influencers, we mean women. Women who pose in skimpy, tight clothing and even in thong underwear, holding big guns. And they get thousands of dollars for doing it.

We’d like to introduce you to some other women. These women serve on the board of directors of Women Against Gun Violence. You won’t find them posing on Instagram with guns. Instead, you might find them marching, or in the halls of Congress, or teaching gun safety in classrooms. What sets these women apart is that they have all had children or loved ones who have been shot.

Rhonda Foster’s seven-year-old son Evan was picking up his soccer trophy at the park when he was caught in the crossfire of a gunfight. He was killed instantly. Her infant son Alec was wounded, shot in the eye.

Loren Lieb’s six-year-old son Josh was shot through the leg by a neo-Nazi who stormed into the summer camp at the Jewish Community Center that Josh attended, looking to kill Jews.

Donna Finkelstein’s daughter Mindy was a teen counselor at that summer camp and was also shot and injured by that same neo-Nazi. Mindy has PTSD and physical complications to this day.

My seven-year-old brother Christopher was shot in the head by a teen showing off his father’s loaded gun. Christopher survived with traumatic brain injury and lives with a bullet in his brain.

Margot Bennett found her friend’s dead body after she had committed suicide with a gun.

These women, as well as every member of our board, work every day to pass stronger gun laws and to educate the public about the risks of guns in the home, and how to keep children safe. Their work is just a tad more challenging than posing with guns in your underwear.

Perhaps these are the kinds of women that should be elevated on Instagram.
