Replying to @GovWesMoore
@govwesmoore’s Bill Signing Ceremony was AMAZING! Thank you to the Governor’s office for hosting and inviting us, and for codifying the Center bill into law. HUGE thanks to Tarria Stanley and our on-the-ground community partners and advocates that have supported this effort.

We hear so much about crime rates, opioids, and gun violence in America, but so little from our elected leaders about the poverty crisis

We need to hold the gun industry accountable for this carnage, we need to fix Md’s ineffective AWB, we need a state level office of violence prevention & fully funded violence prevention efforts, & we need to build an infrastructure that leaves no one behind.

My statement on the July 4th mass shooting in Salisbury.
This graphic image contains a statement from Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown. It reads: "Another heartbreaking tragedy in Maryland. Another young life taken in yet another mass shooting, this time in Salisbury. A 14-year-ld boy’s life was struck down and six others were wounded during a celebration that was ripped apart by gunfire. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, to Salisbury, and to our State. No one should ever experience this fear and pain. We should not grow numb or complacent. We must not allow for this to become “normal.” I stand with you and promise to do all that I can to make our communities safer for all."

In interviews with survivors of firearm injury they would routinely say July 4th was one of the worst days of the year because the sound of fireworks would trigger their trauma I never thought about that until then it made me look at fireworks differently

It's terrifying that some people are more concerned about black kids' "disrespect for authority" than cops' disrespect for their humanity.
