Robin Kelly has stood by SDAIL and the students of Illinois every day that she has been in Congress.

In the Senate she will continue to be that tireless leader for gun violence prevention an we could not be more happy that she has received the Gun Sense Candidate Distinction.

[Robin Kelly, Ph.D. @RobinLynneKelly]

I’m honored to be recognized by @MomsDemand as a Gun Sense Candidate. Keeping our families, schools and communities safe is a shared responsibility. I’ve prioritized ending gun violence since entering Congress in 2013 and I will continue that work as Illinois’ next U.S. Senator. #endgunviolence #gunsensecandidate

Every day in America, 125 people are killed with a gun, perpetuating a cycle of senseless violence in our country. As a proud member of SAFER — a group of legislators nationwide dedicated to reducing gun violence — today I #WearOrange in our united call to end gun violence.

[Jan Schakowsky @janschakowsky]

Thank you for everything @SenatorDurbin. Our state and nation are better off because of your service and leadership. I love you ❤️

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States Senator.

But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.

So, I am announcing today that I will not be seeking re-election at the end of my term.

[Students Demand Action Illinois @StudentsIL]

We are proud to have @GovPritzker as our Governor as well as so many other Gun Sense Champions like @KwameRaoul, @RobinLynneKelly , @BobMorganIL, @RepMaura.

[Students Demand Action @StudentsDemand]

"Americans want to go to their neighborhood grocery store and not have to worry about some random guy open-carrying an AR-15."

At the #DNC, Gov. @JBPritzker reminds us that the majority of Americans demand a future free from gun extremism—and we're ready to vote for that future on November 5th.

[Students Demand Action Illinois @StudentsIL]

We are ready to bring out Gen-Z in big numbers to elect @KamalaHarris.

Join us or your local Students Demand Action chapter to turnout young voters.

[Bob Morgan @RepBobMorgan]

Firearms should never be in the hands of domestic abusers. Time for us to pass Karina's Law in Illinois to make sure weapons are removed from dangerous people.
