I’ve seen a lot of keynotes, but @kevinolearytv has to be the worst yet. He talked about cancers, whacking people, how much he loves firing people & how it’s better to make money than care about others. To a group of healthcare leaders. Read the room, Mr Tone Deaf.

Illinois activists come together in support of the Homicide Victims' Families Rights Act, which is pending in the Illinois legislature. #SolveMoreMurders @halleh13 @rachelajacoby @IMPACT4HC @Safe_Society @drsforamerica @mbmhmc @newmarienewman @RepKamBuckner @RepMaura

Passing this bill is critical so families of victims of gun violence can get justice for their loved ones.
The Homicide Victims’ Families’ Rights Act will address low homicide clearance rates across the state and increase community trust in police. Survivors deserve better.

Best part about doing a triathlon wearing a @MomsDemand shirt? All the applause & conversations along the way. If you think we aren’t moving the needle on gun violence, wear your red moms shirt around a few thousand people and you’ll see how much we’ve done!❤️@Everytown
Our #coldcase team met with @RepKamBuckner today to discuss the Homicide Victim’s Families Rights Act. This bill is vital for creating safer Illinois communities. Looking forward to reintroducing (and passing!) this important legislation this upcoming session. #twill #unsolved

We need a nationwide assault weapons ban.
Saving lives should matter more than "saving" your job and obeying the political whims of the gun lobby.

In a country with more guns than people, lax gun laws, an extreme Supreme Court, special protections for the gun industry, and politicians bought by the gun lobby—it's not surprising that we have the highest rate of gun violence among peer nations.

Independence Day in a red town getting cheers, applause and standing ovations. Change doesn’t happen overnight but IT IS HERE.

July 4 parade in our super Republican town getting cheers and standing ovations because people are sick and tired of gun violence no matter what political party they’re with. @MomsDemand @Everytown ❤️

I passed HB676 to ensure guns are taken away from abusers in emergency orders of protection - we are still waiting for the Senate to act. Here in IL we protect survivors & their families. Urge your Senator to sign on and take up the bill in Fall Veto.

I love when funny people support hard topics! You’re the best, Rachel Bloom. @MomsDemand @Everytown
Happy Father’s Day, dad! I honor your memory by advocating for a safer world for us all - one free from gun violence. #unsolved #EndGunViolence @MomsDemand @Everytown ❤️
As a gun violence survivor in #Illinois, I #WearOrange on National Gun Violence Awareness Day today to honor fellow survivors and bring attention to this crisis that steals 120 lives and wounds 200 more each day. Learn more at wearorange.org. @Everytown @momsdemandaction
Good morning Wear Orange! Lake Michigan knew it was WO, beautiful sunrise to start the day - remembering all those we’ve lost to gun violence. #WearOrange #twill #lakemichigan @Everytown @MomsDemand
🙌🏻 Our advocacy worked! Thanks to @MomsDemand volunteers spending all day at our statehouse, HB218, the Civil Liability Bill, passed the IL House & Senate and is on its way to the governor’s desk. The gun industry will now be held accountable for their predatory actions. #twill

ALT Statement from Governor Pritzker: I’m pleased that the Supreme Court has ruled that the Protect Illinois Communities Act will stand as it continues to make its way through the judicial system. The gun lobby has insisted on every legal maneuver to block this law, refusing to acknowledge that lives will be saved by this important piece of legislation. Despite these challenges, I remain confident that the assault weapons ban will be upheld and will create a safer Illinois for our residents.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just declined a gun lobbying organization's bid to block the state of Illinois and a Chicago suburb from enforcing their bans on the sale of assault weapons: law360.com/appellate/article… #twill
It was great to sit down with the new @Everytown boss lady @FerrellZabala at our #illinois Advocacy Day to talk about the issue of #unsolved shootings. In good hands with her leading the way and stoked to see what we conquer next. 💪🏼 #KeepGoing @MomsDemand
Storming the Capitol is much more effective when you set meetings with your Senators and Representatives. But we already knew that - because we’re moms. @MomsDemand @Everytown #twill
