We are HS & college aged activists fighting against gun violence in our communities. You can become a part of our movement here: https://t.co/X0QSKvnOrl
URGENT ACTION: We have a chance to regulate ghost guns—the white supremacist weapon of choice—but the ATF needs your support on their proposed rule to do just that! Text GHOST to 644-33 to submit a comment in support of the ATF’s proposed rule.
Students @DemandOregon fought hard alongside @MomsDemand volunteers & local gun violence prevention advocates to secure these wins, and they’re a really big deal! Proud of our students on the ground fighting to make their communities safer from gun violence 🧡
Calling all @momsdemand volunteers!
@studentsdemand is collecting signatures on a letter supporting Senate action on background checks & we need help to get as many student signatures as possible! Please share this with any & all students in your life ⬇️ https://t.co/82G9VxWE8F

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. Might be ~controversial~ but we think we deserve better.
If you agree, call your senators & tell them to take action on background checks now: https://t.co/lkH7z0GcU0
HAPPENING NOW: @ChrisMurphyCT & I are welcoming @Everytown advocates to DC on the final stop of their “Road Trip for Background Checks.” To truly face our country’s gun violence crisis we need #MoreThanThoughtsAndPrayers. We need the Senate to take action. https://t.co/J6DakcFGLW
A gunman fatally shot four people—including a child— and wounded one more at an office complex in Orange, CA yesterday. The suspect is in custody.
Our hearts are with the victims, their loved ones, and all those impacted by another act of mass gun violence in America.
“I knew that you should never underestimate a bunch of pissed-off moms. But I didn’t realize how quickly they’d jump in, or how far they’d run with it.”

“Two thirds of gun deaths in this country are suicides, so a conversation about preventing gun violence can’t really happen unless we address firearm suicide.” - Young Nelson, @Everytown research director https://t.co/ctN5RYPawZ
Texas @MomsDemand Advocacy Day kick off! 100+ participants, too many gun violence survivors. We look forward to working with and holding #txlege accountable to pass gun safety laws supported by a majority of Texans, including gun owners #MomsAreEverywhere to #EndGunViolence
We don’t have to live like this.

TRAGIC: 15-year-old Embaba Mengesteabe died after being shot in the head on Feb. 23. “She had this ability to connect with her teachers and her fellow students. She was a fundamentally amazing person,” said her history teacher. https://t.co/hXDWYDMHLq
We need 88 more cosponsors for #HR8 to ensure that the House votes soon on this bipartisan bill to require background checks on all gun sales. #HR8 would save lives—full stop.

(1/2) Background checks on all gun sales and wearing a mask shouldn’t be controversial. Politicians owe us #MoreThanThoughtsAndPrayers to prevent gun violence.
Iowa Students Demand Action is sharing our opposition to HSB 254, a dangerous bill that would undo public safety laws - like no longer requiring background checks on handgun sales! We are asking our representatives TO VOTE NO! 💪 #IALegis@MomsDemand
