Gov. @JohnKasich of #Ohio, vetoes a #GunPreemption bill. Local communities applaud the move as the @NRA and other gun activists seek a new strategy. ow.ly/SE9h30n46AB

#GunPreemption continues to threaten cities across the country. @NRA lobbyists continue their efforts to thwart local communities from passing #GunSafety measures. ow.ly/Ds6X30mVXXO

Important piece @washingtonpost by Kim Haddow of Local Solutions Support Center about corporate stealth attacks on local democracy & the powers of our cities to protect our residents. We have a lot of work to do to @DefendLocal and make @LocalProgress.

Cities across the country are fighting for #GunSafety measures using the courts. The @NRA and their affiliates are increasingly frustrated with the time and energy used defending #GunPreemption laws. ow.ly/UubZ30lzEJ4

Good morning, #NewOrleans! Excited to be speaking on grassroots coalition building for @DefendLocal at the @EqualityFed #eqfed18 national conference. #DefendLocal @LeMeridienNOLA

Yet another example of bad preemption. We would love to turn our #SmartGrid into an even more valuable public resource to rival the #GigCity, but the state has silenced our local voices on that issue. Preemption should be a floor, not a ceiling. #AskAndrrew xitter.cf/CandidateDavis/status/…

You’ve asked the Council what we’re doing to build affordable housing in the City. On Tuesday, we voted to put a $135 million affordable housing bond on the ballot.

The Janus v. AFSCME SCOTUS ruling is an unacceptable attack on employees' right to organize. Unions are the lifeblood of this country. We owe the weekend, the 8 hour work day, and so much more to the labor movement. I and my staff stand strong with our public sector unions.

Cities like #Tallahassee are banding together to fight for the right to increase community safety free from bullying and overreaching super #preemption. xitter.cf/acampoflores/status/99… – at Tallahassee, FL

Bend City, #Oregon, considers taking steps for #GunSafety even as the state has strict #GunPreemption laws. Many communities are challenging Gun Laws for greater safety measures in schools. @JMShumway @NRA ow.ly/Ocrp30jSisB

Great to be on the same team as @GainesvilleGov as we fight to protect local democracy from super #preemption!
