“I’m honored to co-sponsor this bipartisan legislation for my son, Jordan, and for the safety of every family in this country and I ask my fellow parents, fellow members, and fellow Americans to stand with me today in support of universal background checks.” ~ Rep. @lucymcbath
“By standing with transgender Americans, we send out a message that there is no “other” to fear. In God’s eyes, we are all one and we are all deserving of a life free of hatred and violence.”~ @RisherRev on the shooting of Kelly Stough, a transgender woman https://t.co/DTHuNn3PMZ
Tragically, the number of gun deaths hit a 50-year high in 2017. This year, more states have taken action on common sense gun laws that save lives, but we also must demand change in Washington. https://t.co/iLbwyTv2y4
On Nov 6 we made history. Now it’s time to hold our elected officials accountable to ensure they pass common sense gun legislation.
That’s why @MFOLDC is partnering with @Team_Enough to form a youth lobbying collective!
Apply by 12/16 to be part of it: https://t.co/ihzx0trGBY
“I don’t go to the market. Scared to go to a doctor’s appointment. If one of the kids is having something at school, I’m scared to come out of my house, really.” ~ Vivian Nealy, great-grandmother of two girls who became victims of gun violence https://t.co/rGq1UjZyEB
Background checks work.
And when the new Congress convenes in January, the #GunSenseMajority has the opportunity to pass comprehensive background checks to close the online sale loophole and gun show loophole.
“I stand up and I do this and I be quiet. I feel scared. I feel like bad guys are in there. I don’t know what it is, so I just think about it, why they give me a lockdown drill, and I think it’s because bad guys are there.” ~ Anjali, Kindergartener https://t.co/DvYIuWpnLp
#ThisisMyLane ... @NRA Come to the trauma bay; see first-hand what an emergency thoracotomy looks like trying to save a gunshot victim without vital signs. Come with us as we tell a mother her child has died from gun violence. Yup, this is definitely OUR lane.
We can think of thousands of reasons the NRA is no longer "invincible," and they wear our signature red Moms Demand Action T-shirts. 💪https://t.co/Ej3u3faFiA
