I’m old enough to remember when @GovMikeDeWine said he supported gun violence prevention policies after the Dayton mass shooting.
Instead, Ohio just became the 23rd state with permitless carry — legislation that is associated with INCREASES in violent crime.
NEW: Congress took major action against gun violence by passing $50 million in funding for community violence intervention programs and reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act. This legislation makes communities safer and has the power to save lives. https://t.co/t2xPKPmpIg
The House passage of VAWA is a victory that will strengthen support for sexual assault survivors, especially for Black and minoritized communities that are disproportionately impacted by intimate partner violence-related homicide. Full statement:

Violence interrupters put themselves at risk every day for a chance to make their communities safer. In an unspeakably tragic year, @SafeStreetsBalt lost three of their devoted workers to gun violence. Community violence interventionists need our support. https://t.co/mRh40zXgi2
As the recent killing of Amir Locke reminds us, no-knock warrants can lead to unjust death, further fuel police mistrust and have a negative impact on community violence. @EFSGV’s page on police violence explains the challenge and outlines solutions: https://t.co/EpzXXUG2Yx
This verdict is a disturbing reminder of the injustices Black and Brown people face and the lethality of no-knock warrants. Read our statement from 2020, after the initial failure to charge the police officers responsible for the killing of Breonna Taylor: https://t.co/ZjjYlVCi6V
BREAKING: An ex-police officer who shot into Breonna Taylor's apartment has been found not guilty of wanton endangerment. Brett Hankison was the only police officer charged in the raid that resulted in Taylor's death. https://t.co/nU9aAAnTCy
As our @laurenjfootman said in 2020, “Today you should be celebrating your 27th birthday with your loved ones. But, unfortunately, your life was cut short due to a justice system steeped in racism. Today and every day, I will uplift your name…” https://t.co/y1QpTEFUbf
News -> The Virginia Senate Judiciary Committee has BLOCKED efforts to repeal critical gun violence prevention laws. This is a victory for gun safety and making progress towards ending this public health epidemic. Read our full statement: https://t.co/8lQyYQfrl4
I’m calling on Congress to:
- Pass universal background checks
- Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
- Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry that can’t be sued
These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.
