Our hearts go out to Midland, TX. We’re sorry this has spread to you. We’re sorry you’re another headline. Stay safe. We’ll keep you updated as we get more details.
@senatemajldr just so you know. Recess is over in 9 days.
In light of the mass shootings in their home state in Brooklyn, New York, as well as the tragedies in El Paso, Dayton, & Chicago, & more, @MFOLNYS is calling on the internet to change their profile pictures to this End Gun Violence graphic.
Let’s paint the internet orange.
"Our data show that mass shooters have much in common. Instead of simply rehearsing for the inevitable, we need to use that data to drive effective prevention strategies." https://t.co/NXR2d85hYj

“My son had his whole life to live and he was only six,” said Alberto Romero. His son, Steven, was one of three people killed in yesterday’s shooting at a garlic festival in Gilroy, California.
America cannot go on like this. For the sake of our kids, we have to change.
Waking up to news of the mass shooting at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in CA. There are at least three dead, 15 wounded. One killed was a six year old boy who “had his whole life still ahead of him,” said his dad. We have failed him and all victims of gun violence. #GunControlNow
Queer people have always been on the front lines of change, and we’re SO proud to have such amazing activists like @Emma4Change, @DelaneyTarr, and @John_Barnitt as part of the fight. Read their new op-ed in @them on queerness, gun violence, and hope 🌈

For many kids with disabilities the, “run, hide, fight” tactics are nearly impossible options in active shooter situations. They deserve a real plan too – so why are so many schools leaving them to fall through the cracks? https://t.co/Hk6MrX9XL5
No parent should ever have to worry their child will come face-to-face with a school shooter — but for parents of children with disabilities, there is an extra layer of concern. We cannot let this go unnoticed.

You know what would look super cute on you? O R A N G E. It can be a shirt, a hat, sunglasses, or whatever you’re feeling - but make sure you #WearOrange all weekend to raise awareness about gun violence.
Gun violence is the leading cause of death for young Black men in this country — more than the next nine leading causes combined. This is a daily epidemic. We need to speak about tackling all gun-related tragedies, including those that don’t make the headlines.
7 lives - rural #Tennessee
1 life - #ChabadofPoway
2 lives - #UNCC
And how many in #Chicago?
And other urban communities that just don’t even make the national news?
Children, students, worshippers- running for their lives.
If we don’t want to sensibly end that, who are we?
2 people won’t go home tonight after studying all day. they won’t take their finals after a semester of hard work. they won’t return your texts or calls. they won’t have a future because a senseless monster took that from them. Something has to change. #UNCC
