Tomorrow is Election Day. And when the polls open, you have a chance to help us make history. No woman has ever held the seat I am running for and there is no other woman in the race. Together we can bring a new voice to our City Council. #onetoughmother

Tennessee Republicans removed gun violence survivors by force from committee hearings because they held up signs protesting lawmakers’ fealty to the gun industry. But please tell us more about treating women and children with dignity!!!

[Rep. Gloria Johnson @VoteGloriaJ]

I was diagnosed w/ an aortic aneurysm while pregnant. If it burst, it would have killed me and the fetus. My abortion saved my life. Today, that procedure is illegal in Tennessee.

Abortion saves lives — it saved mine.

PSAKI: “Medicaid is the largest payer of behavior health services in 🇺🇸— the same Republicans saying gun violence is a mental health issue are refusing to provide more coverage for mental health services.” #ExpandMedicaid

MUST READ: “I played by the rules and thought I was respected until I made one request: please save my child,” @maryack https://t.co/nwwSnUHxDz

[Rep. Justin Jones @brotherjones_]

Reminder: My Republican colleagues ended special session, once again, passing no gun reform and abandoning Tennesseans.

The Guns Over People (GOP) caucus doesn’t have the courage to listen to mothers and protect kids, not guns.

Shameful.

[John Feinblatt @JohnFeinblatt]

Today @Everytown Law announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with @memlawschool to fund the creation of an innovative clinical position to support pediatric victims of gun violence.

[Everytown @Everytown]

We are proud to be partnering with @memlawschool on this first-of-its-kind program that will ensure that Memphis children and their families who have been impacted by gun violence have the support and resources that they need.

Tennessee deserves better. Can’t stop. Won’t stop.

[John Ray Clemmons @JRClemmons]

There aren’t words to describe the complete failure of leadership that Tennesseans just witnessed over past 2 weeks. Our kids deserve better. Time to get back to work breaking this supermajority. 🤜🤛 #GetOnTheBus 🚌 #TeamJRC #TN55

Vote them out…#TNLeg #TNGOP

[Representative Torrey Harris @TorreyHarris901]

It looks like the Tennessee General Assembly might be adjourning Sine Die today. Nothing got accomplished for Covenant families and gun safety. Tennessee House Republicans took so many losses in the last few days that they would rather leave with no protections for kids.

[Cstu @Cstu05]

#Covenant parents back to urge #TNleg to take meaningful action on firearm safety, along with other citizens in support. Rep. @Justinjpearson meeting right those families and encouraging public to keep showing up. Communities all across state affected by gun violence and suicides
