During our first day back in session, @senatemajldr should call for a vote on House-passed, bipartisan universal background checks legislation. RT if you agree.

I’m heartbroken for the families of the victims in the Odessa and Midland shooting. Our children deserve a future without multiple mass shootings in one month.
We need gun safety reform.
There are 18 Emerge WA alums on the ballot this year but there is still much work to be done to ensure gender parity in government. We need more women in office and won’t stop fighting until we get them there. #WomensEqualityDay#EmergeNow
Why do state legislative races matter?
Because, if ignored, conservative legislatures redirect funds formerly designated to help poor families to things like abstinence-only sex education and pro-marriage advertisements.

Black women working full-time make 61 cents for every dollar white men make.
Every single woman—regardless of her skin color—deserves to be paid the same as men for doing the same work. It’s past time to make #EqualPay a reality. #BlackWomensEqualPay
A Black woman earns $0.61 for every $1 earned by a white man. For #BlackWomensEqualPay Day, let's commit to electing more Democratic women because more women in government will bring us one step closer to ending the #paygap. #EmergeNow#BlackWomensEqualPayDay
Thank you, @JayInslee, for running a campaign that brought #ClimateChange to the forefront of the debate. You have done so much to advance the conversation—and your message will endure. We look forward to seeing you in a leadership role in the next presidential administration.
This weekend was the anniversary of the 19th Amendment — but we must remember many Black women and women of color were unable to exercise their constitutional right for decades. We still continue this fight to this day.
@RepJayapal The WOC who held my bag for me at the airport in Kansas City, so I could fill my water bottle. She could see I was struggling and stepped in to assist❤️
"Yes, a woman can win, and we need to tell these stories and share this truth so that women will keep running." Check out this op-ed by @EmergeAmerica Interim President @AmandaRenteria. https://t.co/wyYoNHYgOs
Two years ago today, Heather Heyer was killed when hundreds of neo-Nazis gathered in Charlottesville.
We must honor Heather by following her example. "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
According to authorities, 9 people were killed and 26 were injured in the Dayton shooting. It lasted less than a minute.
Less than a minute.
We cannot remain idle and allow this level of carnage to ravage our communities. We need courage. We need to act.
I am heartbroken for El Paso, Dayton, and every other community in our country that has experienced the horror of gun violence. @senatemajldr, the House has acted on commonsense gun reform. There is absolutely no excuse for delay in the Senate.
