Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. I @MomsDemand @Everytown wear orange to honor every life stolen and forever changed by gun violence. Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens in America…UNFATHOMABLE. #honorwithaction #wearorange
To learn more about how each family wishes to honor and remember their loved ones, visit mysandyhookfamily.org. The families ask that you understand that each of them is unique in their own experiences following the tragedy and each has their own voice and perspective. We will never forget. #EndGunViolence
In 2021, a milestone was achieved - bipartisan HALT Drink Driving Law, mandating advanced impaired driving detection technology in all new cars. The next crucial step is for Congress to allocate funding for full implementation, potentially saving over 10,000 lives annually. #MADD45
For over 15 years, it was a joy and honor of my life to work passionately on @MADD lifesaving mission. Recently, I stood alongside victims, survivors of impaired crashes, and traffic safety advocates in DC at the MADD 45th Anniversary event. #MADD45 #NoMoreVictims

North Carolina reps passed a permitless carry bill that would let people as young as 18 carry loaded handguns without a background check. Thanks to Gov Stein’s veto, we have one last chance to stop it. Send a message urging your reps to vote no! >> etwn.us/4nf6o5b

Spent an amazing day with fellow advocates and volunteers @MomsDemand opposing permitless carry in North Carolina.
It’s a common sense policy that helps protect North Carolinians from gun violence. #NCPolicy #MomsAreEverywhere
The addiction crisis is one of the most pressing challenges facing our nation today. Congress must take action that addresses prevention, ensures access to high-quality care, and promotes a culture of recovery. shatterproof.quorum.us/campa…

When Lucy McBath left her position as Everytown’s faith outreach leader and ran for Congress, we went all-in — and now she’s a national leader on gun safety who can count on our full support as she heads into her fourth term.
Congratulations, Representative @LucyMcBath, on being re-elected! A former @MomsDemand volunteer and a gun violence survivor, Rep. McBath ran for office after her son Jordan was shot and killed in 2012. Her unwavering commitment to ending our nation’s gun violence crisis in Jordan’s honor has saved lives.
I’m a NC @MomsDemand volunteer spending the weekend calling NC voters reminding them that guns are the leading cause of death of kids and teens in America. Pledge to be a #GunSense voter. #MomsAreEverywhere
