Yesterday, I voted for the Active Shooter Alert Act to allow police departments to send AMBER Alert-like messages during active shooter emergencies.

This bill will give law enforcement officers the tools needed to keep our communities safer during these life-threatening events.

[House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary]

🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: The House has PASSED H.R. 6538, the Active Shooter Alert Act.

[Rep. Vicente Gonzalez @RepGonzalez]

BREAKING: Congress just passed the Active Shooter Alert Act, another step we are taking to protect our communities and end gun violence in our country.

[Rep. Jim Costa @RepJimCosta]

I just voted to pass the Active Shooter Alert Act to give local police departments the ability to send out AMBER Alert-like messages during active shooter incidents. This straightforward policy will help keep Californians safer during these life-threatening events.

Later today, the House will vote AGAIN on the Active Shooter Alert Act - an obvious action that will SAVE LIVES. Let's hope @HouseGOP gets on board this time.

[Rep. Jim Costa @RepJimCosta]

Active shooter events have become far too common in our communities & law enforcement needs more resources to keep us safe.

Today I’m voting for the Active Shooter Alert Act to give departments the technology to send out AMBER Alert-like messages during these emergencies.

My heart breaks for the community of Uvalde. These mass shootings are senseless, and we must do all we can to prevent them from happening again and again. We've watched too many parents, children and teachers suffer. (1/2)

As Co-Chair of @survivorscaucus, I applaud the Biden Administration’s focus on survivor-informed solutions to fight human trafficking.

In honor of #DomesticViolenceAwareness month, I spoke on the House floor to raise awareness of the social and domestic impacts of domestic violence. We must continue to work together to #EndDV once, and for all.

October is National #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth. If you or someone you know is a survivor and/or seeking help, call the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE. You are not alone.

[Senator Dianne Feinstein @SenFeinstein]

I joined my colleagues in urging Senate leadership to include funding for programs that assist domestic violence survivors in the upcoming reconciliation bill. Violence Against Women Act programs are in desperate need of funding and we must act soon.

Two years ago, a hate-fueled massacre left the El Paso community shocked, shaken & set off waves of anger and sadness across the nation.

Today we remember the victims & survivors & recommit ourselves to ending gun violence epidemics in our nation. #EndGunViolence #ElPasoStrong

This fix will restore and increase funding to the Crime Victims Fund, which is essential to local agencies that provide life-saving services to victims of all types of crime.

[National Domestic Violence Hotline @ndvh]

Abuse is all about power and control, and it can be exhibited in multiple ways. Abuse can be physical, emotional, financial, sexual, and digital.

So how do you identify abuse?

[Rep. Veronica Escobar @RepEscobar]

This #GunViolenceAwarenessDay🧡, we remember the 23 beautiful souls killed by an act of domestic terrorism against El Paso and all the Americans we’ve lost to gun violence.

They deserve more than thoughts and prayers. They deserve common-sense gun violence prevention laws.

[Rep. Jim Costa @RepJimCosta]

June is #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessMonth, a chance to pause and remember those lives lost and forever changed by gun violence. Today we stand with survivors and renew our commitment to help #EndGunViolenceNow. https://t.co/D8MOiYsEPk via @FacebookWatch

[Crime Survivors & Justice Caucus @survivorscaucus]

The Caucus is saddened to hear of the tragic #MassShooting in San Jose and grieves with the families and friends who are mourning the loss of their loved ones. As always, we remain committed to providing the resources and assistance needed for survivors to heal from this tragedy.

Thank you @POTUS @WhiteHouse @WhiteHouseGPC We agree with you: "Let’s reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, which has been law in this country for 27 years...pass it and save lives." #VAWA21 #VAWA4All #JointAddress

[NNEDV @nnedv]

The House passed #VAWA21, a survivor-centered bill developed by advocates, during the #First100Days. We join @POTUS to call on @SenateDems & @SenateGOP to introduce and pass a substantially similar bipartisan bill with no rollbacks. https://t.co/pXHvqy5Kg2 #JointSession #VAWA4ALL
