This Gun Violence Awareness Month, let us recommit to addressing this epidemic tearing our nation apart.
President Biden and I fought to pass the most significant gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years because we care about keeping our children and communities safe.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump says we should “get over it.”
The contrast is clear.
Congratulations to Baton Rouge Magnet High School for its high ranking among U.S. News & World Report's 2024 Best High Schools. Baton Rouge High was an impressive 167th in the nation, No. 4 in Louisiana, No. 1 in the metro area and No. 44 among magnet schools. #WeAreEBR
Last night we wrapped up our 5th installment of @MayorBroome’s Community Safety Planning series!
Through a lens of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design, neighborhoods are quarterbacking strategies our office will bring online!

EBR is still seeing an overall decline in gun violence in our parish, however THE WORK still needs to be done.
Work traditionally looks like increased patrols, and law enforcement measures. It is VITAL THAT community led solutions lead the public safety conversation.
Then I look at the promo flyer I just approved, and it is at a park that just got a renovated court…
My heart and spirit hurts because there has to be more direct outreach around conflict-resolution.
The gunshot AINT WORTH IT FAM!

In a late night work session with partners for SHHBR planning for an event at a local park…
News alert pops up with a homicide at a park. The intervention team shares that it was over a basketball game…
Immediately Im thinking - we created safe basketball locations…

GA friends and fam LOCK IN!
We need to:
Ban assault weapons — and if we can’t, then we should raise the age to purchase them from 18 to 21.
Ban high-capacity magazines.
Strengthen background checks.
Enact safe storage laws and red flag laws.
Repeal gun manufacturers’ immunity from liability.
Congratulations, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, on your Supreme Court nomination! We can't wait to see the amazing work you will do, and we will be here to support you along the way.
