Tonight Georgia’s legislature passed a bill brazenly intended to make it harder for Georgians to vote.

Among its outrageous provisions: it criminalizes *giving water to voters who are waiting in line.*

It’s no wonder Gov. Kemp hid behind closed doors while he signed it.

Tonight I joined fellow members of the #Boulder community for a vigil at Fairview High School.

Together, we reflected on the lives lost, and re-committed ourselves to doing everything we can to ensure such a tragedy never happens again. 🙏🏾

@laurenboebert @GunOwners @laurenboebert That is because you are lucky to live in a state that has made mail-in voting the norm. In many states, metro areas with 500k people only have ONE in-person polling site. Do your research.

@CNNPolitics @RepJoeNeguse is right. We cannot accept this as normal. Please read my reflections on this senseless violence and then pass #gunreformnow. https://t.co/F0O59VmhQO
