THANK YOU @AlexVASheriff Sean Casey, inviting ALX #BeSMART team to give secure storage presentation as part of new deputy training. Grateful for msg you must also protect loved ones at home by locking away unloaded firearms, as you also protect community. @MomsDemand@Everytown
Our PTA invited #BeSMART to our meeting last night! Did you know 4.6 MILLIONS kids live in homes with one UNSECURED and LOADED gun? We have to normalize asking other parents if they have secured their firearms before playdates. TEXT SMART to 644-33 to learn more. @MomsDemand
Alexandria @MomsDemand crew spent the morning tabling at the Del Ray farmers market and had great conversations with folks who are ready to get off the sidelines! To join us, text READY to 644-33! 💪💪#MomsAreEverywhere
The thing about having "guns" as your hobby, is that if my hobby had turned into the number one reason of death for children, I would just find another hobby.
Still the most powerful speech I have heard on the need for common sense gun control legislation, by Alex Wind from MSD. We choose life. @al3xw1nd@MomsDemand
@DrainALX@patpend @RobKrupicka @meronneva I’m completely supportive…in fact love the idea of going totally underground. But I suspect the NIMBYs would be out in full force considering all the digging it would require. Not sure Dominion wants the fight.
@KRSinDelRay @DrainALX@DominionEnergy I have battery back-up, a second battery to swap out, and a generator solely for the purpose of keeping that sump pump running. And if we run out of gas for generator I am prepared to use buckets to keep the water low. We have a significant water and power problem in this city.
Two mass shootings in 24 hours, in Milwaukee and Buffalo — the latter killing ten people.
I’m heartbroken. And I’m angry.
Angry that the GOP continues to block even the most basic gun safety measures.
We can stop this. We can save lives.
Republicans just refuse to. Cowards.
