This week, Peter Courtney and Kate Brown traded away a gun violence prevention bill SB978 and a mandatory vaccination bill in order to get Republican senate members to vote on HB 3427. They’ve traded away our safety and used students as pawns. https://t.co/ruPMhF8fGg
Out for a jog, like millions of Americans every day, Ahmaud Arbery was stalked and gunned down by two white men simply for being Black in America. Ahmaud was exercising his freedoms, and was murdered in cold blood.
We demand justice.

Gun sales in Oregon have been through the roof as the COVID-19 pandemic spread. At times, the state's background check system has crashed. One gun store owner said buying a weapon is retail therapy for the pandemic. https://t.co/wrO2rysuqz

I love the thousands of young people in MFOL so much and all of y’all inspire me so much.
Join the family—

The lives of everyone in Santa Clarita changed today. Families and friends lost their loved ones. Students will have survivors’ guilt for their whole lives. The children in the elementary schools nearby will remember the lockdown and the fear around them.
My bill is based on a simple idea: if you need a license to drive a car, you should need a license to buy and possess a gun.
We have the data: gun licensing will save lives. Congressional inaction is proving deadly—we must act now to keep Americans safe.

We used our power to help you get re-elected so you could pass gun violence prevention bills, but you threw away your power by giving in to the senate republicans and getting rid of SB978.
How can we all wake up this morning and not resolve to put an end to this senseless gun violence? Many of us feel powerless today after the events this weekend, but there is power in your voice, and power in your vote, and I encourage you to leverage that to take action.
We deserve a debate in which the candidates spend a sufficient and efficient amount of time discussing the nuances of gun violence, not just giving sound bites.
MFOL is nothing without the youth of Ferguson, decades of community organizing, countless heroes risking their lives for this movement we work towards building every day.
Gun violence is much more than school shootings, here’s what we really fight for...
