Assault weapons are especially deadly. Since 2009, the 10 mass shooting incidents with the most casualties involved either a high-capacity magazine, an assault weapon, or both. We echo @POTUS’ call on Congress to pass an Assault Weapons Ban. #SOTU

This year, Americans went to the polls and made it clear to politicians: if they won’t act to ensure housing is a human right, we the people will happily do so ourselves. https://t.co/WK5lsJNakv
Yesterday we created a Blue Wall that stopped a red wave. Few were willing to predict that. Millions of you made it happen, and our Democracy lives to see another day. Thank you. My thoughts... https://t.co/WPvXLsrAnZ
Worldwide, more than 650 mil #womenandgirls alive today were married before their 18th birthday. Some are right here in the US.

.@RepSlotkin @SenStabenow@SenGaryPeters The Title 42 policy puts asylum-seeking children and families at risk. Please do not prolong the policy and support its full termination! #AChildIsAChild@UNICEFUSA https://t.co/t4qYhs9Jce
.@POTUS Every day, #climatechange endangers children and threatens their futures. I stand with @UNICEFUSA in calling for the U.S. Government to support youth climate action and protect children from the impacts of climate change. https://t.co/ISgQieniPT
Today, we achieved what was said to be impossible: an assault weapons ban passed in the House. THIS shows the power of the youth-led gun violence prevention movement.
The potential to end gun violence and BAN assault weapons lies with us. This is just one necessary step.
The US is unique for having a political party that appears committed to maximizing the presence of guns & coldly tolerating any level of bloodshed & death that will result from that commitment...
