Follow for updates, info, events and more about the New Jersey branch of March For Our Lives, the youth movement dedicated to ending gun violence.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

New Year’s Eve should be about celebration, not tragedy. Over 20% of all gunfire incidents in Q4 occur on NYE.
❌ Celebratory gunfire kills and injures.
❌ Unsecured guns lead to preventable tragedies.
Let’s end the cycle of gun violence and fight for a safer future.

Thoughts and prayers are useless to dead children.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

It is sickening that school is not a safe place to be a child in America.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Terrifying and heartbreaking news out of Madison, Wisconsin. We shouldn't have to live like this. We deserve to live free from the terror of gun violence.

We will fight to end it.

[Sandy Phillips @MamaRedfield]

A school shooting in Madison WI has stolen at least 3 lives and injured others.

Survivors Empowered Toolkit is free & online. Plz share widely.

Know the symptoms of shock; how to respond to media; how to deal with funerals and the next few days.

This is what AGs do: we fight to protect our residents.

I am proud to lead this lawsuit against Glock alongside @AGEllison of Minnesota. We work together every day to keep our residents safe. You can read more about our lawsuit here: https://t.co/znzsWz0R2r

[March For Our Lives NJ @MFOLNJ]

Very grateful to @NewJerseyOAG for launching a national coalition of Attorneys General to hold the gun industry accountable!

This is the type of creative, regional leadership that is needed in the face of the normalization of and federal inaction on gun violence

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

I am also announcing that New Jersey is leading the first ever national coalition of 16 states dedicated to suing bad actors in the firearms industry when they violate our laws.

We represent over 100 million Americans – and we will fight for their safety.

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

BREAKING: I just sued Glock to put the homemade machine gun industry out of business.

The days of an Austrian company putting profits ahead of the safety of American residents and law enforcement officers are over.

[Black Lives Matter (BLM) @Blklivesmatter]

We need a world where empathy replaces fear, where compassion replaces violence, and where no one’s humanity is up for debate.

Jordan Neely deserved more. His life, like all Black lives, held infinite worth. We honor him by refusing to accept a system that turns away from those in need and rewards those who cause harm.

#NoNotoriety is important always, but especially in this current moment. Whenever there is a shooting in America, let’s keep the shooter’s name out of the headlines.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

ERASING TRANS PEOPLE DOESN’T MAKE THEM DISAPPEAR. Tennessee’s law is a blatant attempt to strip humanity from trans youth, banning care that saves lives. You can’t legislate trans people out of existence. You will only make them suffer.

CW: visual and written depictions of police brutality

[Ryan P. Haygood @RyanPHaygood]

BREAKING: After a year-long investigation, @TheJusticeDept & @USAO_NJ found that Trenton Police engaged in a pattern/practice of unconstitutional policing.

“For too long, the residents of Trenton have felt afraid of the police, rather than protected by them.” @USAttySellinger.

[Attorney General Jennifer Davenport @NewJerseyOAG]

New Jersey leads the nation in gun violence safety.

It’s not because residents of other states are inherently more dangerous.

It’s because of NJ's commonsense and constitutional gun laws, and our enforcement of them.
