Our generation is a powerful force. To the lawmakers who put the gun lobby’s extremist agenda ahead of our lives: The generation you’ve failed to protect is ready to replace you. https://t.co/UVqoZN2xtE
New statement from AAP President Dr. Sandy Chung on preventing gun violence in the lives of children and teens. “It's time for all of us who care for children and teens to speak up until we see the progress they deserve. Until they are safe.” Learn more: https://t.co/Qj5EHYLH7E
If guns made us safer, America would be the safest place in the world.
But the opposite is true. Nowhere else do students, concertgoers and bank patrons get slaughtered on a daily basis.
Because as it turns out, it's all the guns that make us so unsafe.
Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
I just joined @momsdemand & @everytown to send an urgent message demanding our U.S. Senators take bold action by passing gun safety legislation. We cannot wait for another mass shooting. Send your message now >> https://t.co/PJmmqBj2pU
A new report from the Secret Service revealed that 67% of students who plotted school shootings had "potential access to one or more firearms.”
Nearly 5 million kids live in homes with unsecured guns—and this report emphasizes just how dangerous that is.

A powerful & insightful @MomsDemand VA meeting, It was a privilege to participate & absorb the tremendous & impactful work of @RISEforYouth & @TheTRIGGERProj A public health approach to juvenile justice & gun violence is imperative to strengthening our communities.
On this day nine years ago, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home from a Florida convenience store. His killer was exonerated in part by the state's Stand Your Ground law, which promotes a "shoot first" mentality.
VICTORY: HB 2128, legislation to address the Charleston loophole, was just signed into law in Virginia.🎉
“This signing is further proof that times have changed in Virginia when it comes to gun safety.” -Carlos A. Gutiérrez, volunteer with our VA chapter

On Jan 9, Xzavier Hill was shot 3 times by police during a traffic stop for speeding.
As a Virginia @MomsDemand volunteer, I’d like to join his family in calling for @VSPPIO to release video footage in the shooting death of Xzavier Hill.
#JusticeForXzavier#VALeg
Yes, thank you, Senator! This rule needs to become law, and it’s one of @MomsDemand@Everytown top priorities for this session of #VALeg! Looking forward to speaking with you about it tomorrow morning. #MomsAreEverywhere
President Trump has called white supremacists "very fine people," told them to "stand back and stand by," and on Wednesday, he told people attacking the Capitol he loved them. He's not just encouraging these attacks—he's ordering them.
Tell your rep: remove Trump from office.
Today, I spoke with Army Secretary McCarthy, CJCS Gen. Milley, and Air Force Chief of Staff General CQ Brown to ask that U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick, a veteran, be given posthumous special honors and burial at Arlington National Cemetery.
