We must attack the conditions that cause gun violence, and that means investing in schools, healthcare, housing, mental healthcare, and more that makes thriving communities.
It doesn’t mean increasing police budgets.
To everyone who’s lost someone to gun violence, we’re so sorry for your loss.
We know this can be a terribly difficult time of year. We wish they were here to celebrate the holidays with you.
Sending you love, and thinking of the tens of thousands we’ve lost this year. ❤️
Final tweet of the year: There have been 19,000+ gun deaths, 39,000+ gun injuries, and approximately 24,000+ gun suicides in the 366 days of 2020.
Preliminary end of year numbers to be posted in the coming days. See everyone in 2021.
Your action cannot stop after this moment, the fight for a better world must continue.
Whether you get involved with us or others, continuing to take action is essential. We demand more than a return to normalcy.

On World #MentalHeathAwareness Day we recognize that survivors of gun violence often experience difficult mental health effects. We will continue to uplift their voices & fight for mental health resources for them and all others who struggle with their mental health.
And ofc: HAPPY COMING OUT DAY! Coming out looks different for everyone, it’s not always easy to come out. We love you, regardless if you’re out or not. To the many queer organizers who help our movement run, thanks for keeping us going, you’re appreciated today and everyday. 🏳️🌈
“Native communities have the highest rates of fatal police encounters. Our men, women and children are killed by cops with great frequency, most commonly in fatal shootings, but rarely make national news.” #IndigenousPeoplesDay#EndGunViolence https://t.co/3FFFn2h2MM
