We may have a relatively small team compared to others organizations but we ARE a force to be reckoned with. I have so much love for all of our Brady and Team Enough survivors, staff, and volunteers. My heart is so full. 🧡
On this day in 2015, nine people were taken from their communities in a white supremacist attack on the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston — a tragic reminder that gun culture props up white supremacy and feeds racist violence. https://t.co/t1EeobBJEj
Today, members of the Brady Team joined @SenatorWarnock@RepLucyMcBath@MaxwellFrostFL to discuss the criticality of passing gun violence legislation, now.
Gun Laws save lives, period.
I’m standing with survivors and advocates to call on Congress to start a serious conversation about the next steps we need to take as a nation to prevent more gun violence tragedies.

Covenant Presbyterian Church in Nashville:
◾️A school with ~ 200 students

I’m dreading as we wait to hear how many lives have been forever changed by yet another elementary school shooting.

5 years ago today, 17 students and teachers were tragically shot and killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Today, we honor each life lost by committing ourselves to #EndGunViolence. 💙💙💙
This is the 3rd mass shooting in CA so far in 2023.
No one should have to fear being shot and killed anywhere. We don’t have to live like this and we must demand action. #EndGunViolence. #MontereyPark
2 young children were shot while getting off a Metrobus in Washington, D.C. yesterday.
This is absolutely unacceptable. We should be able to return home from school without the fear of being shot. Enough is enough. #EndGunViolence

What a terribly grim milestone. More must be done to protect Washingtonians, and we will do all we can to end gun violence in 2023, and beyond.
We must #EndGunViolence, NOW.
DC has seen 200 homicides in 2022 after this killing tonight on 7th St NE. 227 homicides in 2021. The last time there were 200 homicides was nearly 20 years ago. @fox5dc
In D.C. this year, 16 youths have been fatally shot. More than 80 have been shot and survived. Both of those numbers have increased compared to the same time last year.
It's impossible to describe the impact that violence, but I tried here. (1/6)
