I’m so excited that Congresswoman @lucymcbath will be in Hartford with us for the National Safer Communities Summit. She’s a great friend and a courageous leader in the anti-gun violence movement.

WHY DOES @GovRonDeSantis KEEP ON ACTING AS IF HE JUST SIGNS THINGS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT PEOPLE WON'T NOTICE. LAST NIGHT, WHILE INGNORING THE FLOODING IN FLORIDA DESANTIS SIGNED AN ABORTION BAN INTO LAW. JUST IN CASE YOU ARE NOT AWARE, HE IS VERY WEAK & TRIED TO HIDE THIS.
We offer loving hugs and words of affirmation to those who want them and need them to remind them that there are those Moms who love and accept them exactly for who they are. It isn’t world changing, it’s a small gesture, but it’s rooted in LOVE. ♥️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
This an image you haven't seen today because mainstream media has been covering Donald Trump's motorcade & plane all day long. These are Nashville students walking out today, sick and tired of the NRA and Republican inaction. The youth WILL save us, once again.
This morning our Governor quietly signed the permitless carry bill - effective 7/1/23. Permitless Carry does not make our communities safer and the bill is wildly unpopular in Florida which is probably why it was signed quietly, behind closed doors, and with no fanfare…
“The House floor debate began with a fiction. ‘This bill is about protecting public safety.’
Baloney. It’s about elevating the rights of gun-rights extremists over everyone else’s — even as support for sensible gun protections is on the rise.”

Drivers get heated in other countries, but only in the US is someone shot and wounded or killed every 16 hours in a road rage incident.

I grew up in the lockdown generation, been organizing against gun violence since I was 15, and survived the threat itself.
I’m proud to introduce my first ever legislation, with @ChrisMurphyCT to establish an Office of Gun Violence Prevention!
HAPPENING TODAY - The FL House is voting on HB 543 to allow #PermitlessCarry! Welcome to guns being carried in public with no training and no Concealed Carry Permit required - can't wait to see the new tourist slogans! #FlaPol@MomsDemand
The Florida House will take up the Permitless Carry bill on the Floor this Thursday/Friday.
This bill would allow individuals to conceal carry without a background check and without showing any proficiency with a firearm.
HB 543 is dangerous, and makes Florida less safe.
Happening today: @MomsDemand Florida Advocacy Day! So proud to be associated with such an amazing group of people working to keep Floridians safe, especially by fighting against #PermitlessCarry. #FlaPol
BREAKING: the 11th Circuit of Appeals just ruled that Florida's post-Parkland law prohibiting on 18-20 year-olds from purchasing firearms is fully constitutional and in line with historical precedent 👏 👏 👏 #flapol

The current legislative leadership has shown us exactly how much they value the priorities of Floridians with culture wars and guns everywhere, rather than addressing real issues impacting everyday citizens.
The Florida Legislature's permitless carry bill is deeply unpopular with Floridians, according to a poll released today by the University of North Florida. 67% strongly oppose permitless carry.
