Kentucky March For Our Lives

Official Kentucky State chapter for @AMarch4OurLives By students, for student safety from gun violence.

[Kentucky March For Our Lives @MFOLKentucky]

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! 🧡✊🏼

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

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.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

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.
#OccupyMcConnell #EndGunViolence
Here’s what we said:

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

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

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

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?

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

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.

[Kentucky March For Our Lives @MFOLKentucky]

Kentucky legislators refuse to pass an ERPO Bill but will allow this dangerous display in their capitol building without any reprocussions.

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.

[50 Miles More @50milesmore]

We are shot in schools, shot in the street, shot in our communities — now they are threatening to do so as we protest. #IStandWithVirginia

[March For Our Lives Florida 📢 @mfolflorida]

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

[Kentucky March For Our Lives @MFOLKentucky]

Another debate and there is no talk about gun violence prevention. Why are we not talking about one of the deadliest problems in America? #DemDebate

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

I don’t want to hear drama tonight— I want to here a comprehensive solution to gun violence.

[Kentucky March For Our Lives @MFOLKentucky]

No war with Iran

[March For Our Lives Illinois 📢 @MFOLILLINOIS]

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.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

America, give peace a chance. #NoWarWithIran

While these accomplishments are important, Our Power comes from the work of our local chapters on the ground. Here are some highlights of their 2019⬇️
