Congrats to @AndyBeshearKY !! 🎉Kentucky now has a governor who has prioritized GVP legislation. We are looking forward to passing life saving legislation, and ensuring he keeps his promise to protecting the lives of Kentuckians! 🧡✊🏼
Two years ago, our hearts broke as 17 lives were senselessly stolen. 17 more were injured and are still learning to live with their wounds. Others have wounds that are invisible but run deep, and in the months to come we lost 2 more lives. We remember them, too.
We went to @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell’s office to call out his childish behavior, and demand that he do his job to save lives. His staff told us to stop filming, we filmed anyways.

Here’s what we said:
Mitch McConnell is the Senate Majority Leader, he could easily bring gun violence prevention bills to the floor for a vote if he wanted. Instead, he leaves them to collect dust on his desk while 40,000 American lives are lost to gun violence every year. #OccupyMcConnell
That protestor is @fred_guttenberg, who's daughter Jaime Guttenberg was killed in the Parkland massacre.
Trump did not mention gun violence once during the #SOTU .
He wants to defend the right to bear arms? What about our right to not be shot?

It’s National Gun Violence Survivors Week — and I’m reminded of the trauma of losing my cousins to gun violence every day.
We must act on commonsense gun safety reform immediately. Our futures depend on it. #MomentsThatSurvive

Weirdest thing about guns in the Kentucky Capitol: if you have one, you’re told to walk around the metal detector. Others must pass through and get wanded.

The young people have spoken, it’s up to the adults to listen.

White supremacists and Nazis attempted to use fear to keep us quiet. Dr. King taught us all to never be silent about the things that matter.
We listened and they failed.
Peace will prevail.

BREAKING: Together with @splcenter@dreamdefenders and @flstupwr, we are suing the MSD School Safety Commission for violating Florida Sunshine Laws § 286.011 & § 286.0114(4)(d).

Just hours ago, a student was shot and killed at a Texas high school.
This isn’t normal. Americans kill each other with guns at 25x the rate of other high-income countries.
This issue deserves more attention than quick mentions in closing statements. #DemDebate#GunReform
We live in a country that is using shootings as profit. While government officials ignore our call for change, companies create items of CLOTHING to protect kids from gun violence. This is absurd. Our lives are not a way for YOU to make money.
