We've officially departed on our Get Free-dom Ride 🚌 We're on our way from DC to ATL to challenge SB202, the white supremacist faction's anti-voter law in Georgia by handing water to voters waiting at the polls tomorrow, a basic act of humanity that shouldn't be banned.

The Supreme Court has refused to stop partisan gerrymandering. Congress can do it by passing the Freedom to Vote Act. bit.ly/3Bu7C9v

.@JDVance is flat out lying. Most people killed by guns are killed by guns obtained /legally/. He'll look for ANY excuse to scapegoat immigrants huh.

.@GovKemp had the power to pass laws to prevent school shootings. Instead, he loosened gun laws. Blood is on your hands.
Replying to @GovKemp
We will continue to work with local, state, and federal partners as we gather information and further respond to this situation. (2/2)

On the first day of classes, a Rice University student was shot and killed in her dorm room before the gunman killed himself. Andrea Rodriguez Avila’s dreams were cut short because of easy access to guns. The student paper wrote a bit about her life 💔 ricethresher.org/article/202…

NEW: The Eighth Circuit just struck down a Missouri law that tried to penalize police for enforcing federal gun laws. This lifesaving decision proves what we know to be true: that commonsense gun safety laws are constitutional. news.bloomberglaw.com/litiga…

As the #DemConvention gets underway, we teamed up with @ChicagoCred and @GPACIllinois to highlight the work being done on the ground in Illinois to stop gun violence. Community violence intervention strategies are essential to any public safety effort, and these heroic lawmakers, survivors, and peacemakers work day in and out to save lives in Illinois.

GREAT NEWS: Today, @MassGovernor just signed a bill that bans ghost guns and Glock switches, prohibits guns at polling places, and so much more. Because of this law, Massachusetts communities will be safer from political violence, untraceable guns, and automatic weapons. #MAPoli

Political violence is never acceptable, period. Too many Americans already know: guns inevitably raise the temperature and the danger. Our thoughts are with all those at the rally.

Violence has NO place in our democracy. My thoughts are with President Trump and everyone impacted at the rally today.

July Fourth is the most violent day annually, with 5 mass shootings since 2006, reports @AP/@USATODAY/@Northeastern. High temps + alcohol-fueled gatherings can turn deadly when guns are involved. WE DON’T HAVE TO LIVE THIS WAY.

On the first day of Pride Month, we remember Chynal Lindsey, a transgender woman killed in Dallas in 2019. Anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes are on the rise, and firearms make these situations deadly. We must act now to help prevent future tragedies and disarm hate.
