Ma’Khia Bryant deserved a society that would protect her childhood, that would allow her to live a fulfilling life. Reform will not give us that society, the status quo remains unchanged.
We send love to her family and community. Rest in power, Ma’Khia.
Today, and every day, we say his name: George Floyd. May he rest in power.

It’s been 3 years since the March For Our Lives. Today, we planned on posting a different message, one of celebration and gratitude, but 9 mass shootings in the past 7 days are painful reminders that we don’t have the luxury to celebrate progress. (thread)
A once-in-a-century pandemic cannot be the only thing that slows mass shootings in this country. It’s time for leaders everywhere to listen to the American people when they say enough is enough.

NOW do you understand why the MAGA gun rally in Richmond a year ago was an overt threat to the rule of law?
NOW do you see that this is political intimidation with ZERO consequence?
This is a coup. This is an insurrection. This is domestic terrorism. This is gun violence. This moment will shape how young people see the country for the rest of our lives.
We hope that members of Congress who are sheltering in place remain safe, we know how scary this can be. We’ve been practicing shelter-in-place since we were four years old. It changes you.
The events unfolding in DC are horrifying. Peaceful BLM protestors were attacked by MPD, today’s protesters storm the Capitol with no police retaliation.
MPD is protecting white supremacists while Black and Brown people lose their lives to police violence; they must be defunded.
A man was murdered last night.
Our laws tell us that unlike extrajuducial killings, capital punishment is somehow excusable and moral.
We know that it's the same act of injustice.

As some polling places close, we want to remind you that our fight goes beyond any single election. There’s still work to do. We will continue to show up for the most marginalized and push elected leaders to create a world free of injustice and gun violence.
