@M8m8b38r @KamalaHQ Tons of people being turned away — devastating for many!

@KamalaHQ If we have an RSVP receipt for today’s event in Wisconsin but are being turned away due to record turnout, is there any chance Kamala can find a solution for those of dying to hear her speak?

Instead of protecting children by passing stronger gun laws, Texas officials are sending home books with elementary school students that “teach and reinforce concepts of the run, hide, fight format in an age-appropriate format.” https://t.co/uBrq9GSSux

Today I was doing an author talk at a middle school when a lockdown was called. I asked the girl nearest to me what to do. I explained that I'd never done a lockdown before. She looked at me in disbelief and said, "Did you grow up in America?"
