We learned how to do the hard work. We built something. It’s still there. The infrastructure of this movement is very important. #MomsAreEverywhere & we have a certain set of skills that are going to be consequential in moving our country forward. #KeepGoing

[Grace Springer @valkyirecos]

Just casted my first ballot for @KamalaHarris I always dreamed of being the first woman president when I was little and to have the honor to vote in this special election is making me tear up a bit! Get out and Vote if you haven’t already!!

“And we shall call it Kansas City”

Cuz it’s in Kansas?

“No it will be located in Missouri.”

What will we call the neighboring city across the river?

“Kansas City, Kansas”

[Amy Axtell @amybett]

Missourians are widely in favor of common sense gun laws that we don't have:

85% want to ban minors from carrying guns on public property without adult supervision.

79% want criminal background checks on ALL gun sales INCLUDING *gun shows* & *private sales*.

Not the NRA celebrating a Kansas district court decision to dismiss criminal gun charges claiming that the federal prohibition on MACHINE GUNS is unconstitutional…

CARTOON OF THE DAY (from @DCcartoonist)

[Moms Demand Action @MomsDemand]

No parent should receive a text like this.

No child or educator should be forced to endure this.

No person in America should accept this.

Demand action with us: Text ACT to 644-33.

It is frustrating to have grown up in the world, especially with the lack of action. If these numbers don’t speak volumes, what will?

If you have the ability to donate to help my debate team continue this outreach it would mean the world to me 💚 https://t.co/oZL7mPXwHa

I joined Speech and Debate 4 years ago, little did I know the impacts it would have for me. My community has brought me so much joy and I am so grateful for every opportunity they have given me with full support. I want others to access that same community and grow with us.

Last year I was invited to The White House to introduce @POTUS . I wish I was invited for winning a spelling bee, or my GPA.
I was invited because I was SHOT at school & I now push every day for a safer America. Fight for the things you believe in, the good people WILL listen.

[Sam Schwartz @samschwartz03]

My name is Sam Schwartz.

6 years ago my cousin Alex was killed in his English classroom in Parkland.

Today, I am at the DNC representing him as we fight to end gun violence!

[Mia Tretta @mia_tretta]

My name is Mia Tretta.

When I was 15 years old I was shot at my school and my best friend was killed next to me.

Today, I am at the DNC representing him and survivors everywhere as we fight to end gun violence!

“Look, I know guns. I’m a veteran. I’m a hunter… But I’m also a dad. I believe in the Second Amendment but I also believe our first responsibility is to keep our kids safe.” - @Tim_Walz

That’s what common sense looks like. ⬆️ #DNC2024

[Mia Tretta @mia_tretta]

“It happened” to me too. But I was at school when I got shot. You sent “thoughts and prayers” without action. I sent you “thought and prayers” too but I’ll take action & vote #Kamala this November @realDonaldTrump #vote #GVP #HarrisWalz2024

8 round tournaments are untenable for the disabled, and create disabilities in the non-disabled. Why are we creating a work schedule so detrimental to our health????

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

A US president just turned “Palestinian” into a slur to attack another US president. “Palestinian” was used as a slur against the person funding and enabling the genocide of the Palestinian People…. Ok
