She continues to recover from her injuries and is an advocate for gun violence prevention.

Giffords recently was in El Paso, Texas visiting victims of the recent shooting at a Walmart.

On Monday night, Giffords will be joined by Aurora Congressman Jason Crow and state Sen. Rhonda Fields, as well as survivors and activists for gun laws and school safety. The town hall is at 7 p.m. at the Aurora Association of Realtors.

"A lot of good work has happened in Colorado and right now it's being undermined by the failure to address the issues in contiguous states and across the country," said Former ATF Agent David Chipman.
