"She wanted to be the first female major league baseball player or the president."

Christina-Taylor was fearless. She wanted to change the world. Christina-Taylor said she would be a star someday. She said that up until she passed. I didn’t want it to be like this. She wanted to be the first female major league baseball player or the president. I would ask, “Do you mean first lady?” And she would say, “No, the president.



Christina-Taylor Green, age 9, was a dancer, an artist, a little league player, and a student leader in her elementary school. On January 8, 2011, Christina-Taylor became an angel, too. The third grader was killed along with five others at an event hosted by Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.



Christina-Taylor’s mother, Roxanna Green, spoke with Moms Demand Action’s Nicole Cunningham about the loss of her daughter and how she’s honoring her memory.

Q: What is your message to Congress, now that the public seems squarely on the side of some sort of gun control?

Roxanna: "I just think it’s a no-brainer. I just want a vote. I’ve always wanted a vote. The senators and congress members need to do what the majority of Americans want to do. They can’t be NRA puppets anymore."

FYI: Christina-Taylor was the only girl on her Little League team.
