This is so real! My brother and his bestfriend did the same thing and when they turned 25 they thought they had achieved greatness. They were both murdered 3 years later.
Why is this reality for Black men in the United States? #EndGunViolence #humanrights

“(Gun Violence) is acutely personal to 43-year-old artist, Hank Thomas, who in 2000 lost his first cousin, with whom he shared an apartment, to robbery & murder. ‘I remember Songha & I joking about being 21 & black and, like, we made it,’ said Mr. Thomas” https://t.co/XYyGJ2Gk3e

One shocking failure of Louisiana re: #domesticviolence is the lack of data- we can’t say for certain how many people were killed by an intimate partner because the state doesn’t fully collect that data #gunviolence #endgunviolence #DVAM2019 #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth

[Tarah Demant @tarahdemant]

Under Intl. #HumanRights law, governments must protect people from violence, including #domesticviolence. That’s not happening in Louisiana #FragmentedAndUnequal #DVAM2019 #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth #endgunviolence

[Tarah Demant @tarahdemant]

In Louisiana, we heard how police and court response to #domesticviolence survivors varies widely. Some survivors were arrested or told they were "overreacting." Black women and LGBTQ people were more likely to be dismissed by police. #FragmentedAndUnequal #DVAM2019

I want to give a special shout out to @RepLucyMcBath for her hard work on gun safety legislation we passed out of @HouseJudiciary last night. Her grace & steadfastness in the face of tragedy never ceases to amaze me.

No this isn’t on the streets of a war-torn country. This is America, where medics have to take cover trying to provide care to those in need. “We’re just here trying to do our jobs & we don’t want to get caught in the middle of gunfights.” #EndGunViolence https://t.co/lmVfZsE5Dg

Forcing a 3 year old child with serious medical issues to choose which parent she will stay with is unconscionable.

This is the kind of cruelty created by the Trump Administration’s remain in Mexico plan: https://t.co/s1Mhbr1h5o

Good news! The BURMA Act just passed the House! It would make sure that the U.S. does much more to stop human rights violations by Myanmar’s military against Rohingya Muslims.

The Senate should include this key provision in the final version of the NDAA. https://t.co/fK9olEc5z3
