March for our Lives CT

On March 24th, we took to the steps of the State Capitol in Hartford, Connecticut to demand an end to the epidemic of mass shootings in America. #GUNCONTROLNOW

Hi all,
we are so excited to announce that MFOL CT is in the process of establishing a state chapter! This account will be reserved for the founder’s use and will commemorate the incredible 2018 march. To follow our team and future events, please follow @mfolct -MFOLCT Team

[Connecticut Dems @CTDems]

Senator @ChrisMurphyCT moments ago, giving voice to all Americans who demand action. We again must reckon with the deadly effect of Congress’ inaction in the wake of another horrifying shooting.

What have we done after Sandy Hook? After Orlando? After Buffalo? What are we doing?

“Be Nice To Each Other. It’s Really All That Matters”

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

The educators inside Sandy Hook Elementary School died protecting their students. Dawn, Annie, Rachel, Mary, Lauren, and Victoria are heroes. It’s been 8 long years of pain and loss for their families.

Do something good or kind today in their memory.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Dylan and Daniel and Avielle and Ana Grace and their classmates would have been starting high school this year. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long. The pain feels so fresh, the loss undiminished.

Please do something good and kind today to honor their memory.

“Our hearts are broken today.”

On this day in 2012, a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Former Pres. Obama urged the nation to “come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this.” https://t.co/MMYvA3aVOh

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

We marched. We organized. We turned out for the 2018 midterms and broke records. Our momentum has only been building, and this year YOUTH WON collectively through #OurPower. We shifted the national conversation. Now, it's our duty to fight for a nation that reflects OUR vision.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

19 out of 20 murderers have no mental illness diagnosis.

4 out of 5 mass shooters have no mental illness diagnosis, and half showed no signs on a prior, undiagnosed illness.

Framing this as just a mental illness problem is a gun industry trope. Period. Stop.

[March for our Lives CT @march_ct]

The tragedies in El Paso and Dayton are just two more pages from the same old book: “Politicians Who Take Money From the NRA Should be Voted Out of Office”.

[Geraldine Just Follow TheEverywhereist on Threads @everywhereist]

Whenever I'm in a public space, I think about what would happen if a mass shooting broke out. It's a constant, low-level anxiety that follows me everywhere. I wonder if it's just me. I don't think it is.

[March for our Lives CT @march_ct]

Privilege at its finest.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

A family court judge was admonished by an appeals court for ruling that a teen boy who raped a girl & then shared a video of the assault w/ friends deserved leniency because he came from a “good family,” was an Eagle Scout & attended “an excellent school. https://t.co/hurtsoWbBy

[Everytown @Everytown]

Retweet if you’re one of the more than 90% of Americans who supports background checks on all gun sales. #DemDebate

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

1 year ago, we held the largest protest against gun violence in history.

1 year later, young people everywhere are still organizing to power the movement that is saving lives.

We won’t live in fear because our current leadership is immoral. We can be the morally just leaders.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

BREAKING: The House just passed #HR1112, the Enhanced Background Checks Act, to close the Charleston Loophole.

Since 1998, the loophole has put over 60,000 guns in the hands of prohibited gun owners.

We must now call on the Senate to pass this life saving legislation.
