The video has been viewed over 3 million times on Twitter. It shows the decorated cap being scanned on an iPhone. The code redirects the user to a page titled “I graduated. These high school students couldn’t.”

The touching tribute moved many online and many requested Warren to share the QR code so that they too can customise their caps to do the same. Many lauded her for the innovative idea to honour the victims and starting a serious conversation about gun control measures in the country.

This.
Thank you @Gi10eight for such a creative, simple, but powerfully driven message. https://t.co/YgM3b6wmc4

That this is necessary sickens me. When are we going to take our country back? https://t.co/LUlRbVYFc5

Brilliant, but sad and infuriating that you had to do this. https://t.co/LNi4tWVQuz

Wow, what an innovative and creative way to inspire folks. Thank you for remembering those we lost and reminding people why we have to fight to end gun violence. You are what this country needs more of. Congratulations on your graduation! https://t.co/uGdLtcl1s1

Do you remember a time when graduation caps could be silly, funny, proud, happy?
Now they are memorials to classmates who have died in school shootings.
Listen to .@Gi10eight: VOTE. #ThisIsOurLane https://t.co/QcehWRzFAg

This shouldn’t be necessary in a civilized Nation that protects its children. Nevertheless, thank you for doing this. https://t.co/Qq9eXLC1Dz

This is well done. Unfortunately the people who need to see this don’t care & will still do nothing. Thank you for putting their names out there. They’ll be with you in your heart walking across that stage. Congratulations to you & thank you for this. ♥️ https://t.co/y1QlgtocBf

Thank you for including the Santa Fe victims. My hometown is Santa Fe, Texas and I’m glad you remember them because so many don’t.

Thank you for remembering the Chardon High victims. It was so long ago, few people do. It happened so close to my home, it shook our county for a long time. Thank you.

“I wanted to send a message to everybody who saw it that no matter where you stand politically … it all boils down to the fact that these kids won’t be able to attend class or attend prom or attend graduation,” Warren told the Washington Post
