We wake up to another mass shooting.
8 dead at a @FedEx facility in #Indianapolis.
8 more flowers added to the @GiffordsCourage memorial on the national mall. In addition to the 100 others killed yesterday who will not receive media attention.
Our national shame.
Only in America do we wake up grieving the memory of one mass shooting, just to hear about another.
14 years ago today, 32 students and educators were killed on Virginia Tech campus.
We continue to fight in their honor.
2 shootings in one week.
We demand more than thoughts and prayers.
We demand that our communities are supported, that lifesaving legislation is passed, that violence intervention programs are funded.
We demand a world free of gun violence.
You probably feel numb. This shit is so normalized in this country.
This is your reminder that we collectively deserve better.
We deserve a country free of gun violence.
You, your family, your friends, deserve a country free of gun violence.
The American epidemic rages on. I’m angry. I’m heartbroken. And I’m tired of asking where we should be able to feel safe.
Sending love to Boulder tonight. 💜

These 7 senators voted to disenfranchise Black votes in Philadelphia. These 7 senators voted against our democracy.
We hope that members of Congress who are sheltering in place remain safe, we know how scary this can be. We’ve been practicing shelter-in-place since we were four years old. It changes you.
okay— the count down to 2021 begun, so time for an important reminder:
Please do not shoot a gun into the sky to celebrate. Celebratory gunfire can kill or injure people.
Tonight, celebrate safely and practice responsible gun ownership. #NewYearsEve
Minneapolis Police killed a man this evening by fatally shooting him while he was in a car in the Holiday gas station parking lot at 36th Street and Cedar Avenue.
another heartbreaking incident that happened this past weekend that’s not being amplified was a racially motivated mass shooting that took place in Rockford, Il. 3 people murdered, 6 injured including 14 year old Printess Wynn, a cousin of someone we love dearly.
Shootings and gun homicides have spiked dramatically in D.C. in 2020—we need bold action to match the severity of this epidemic.
“Gun violence should be in focus not just when a baby is killed but every day.”
