Passing the Women's Health Protection Act is a critical step toward creating a world where every person—regardless of who they are or where they’re from—is free to make the best #healthcare decisions for themselves, their families, and their lives. #ActForAbortionAccess
❗ In January 2022 alone, state legislatures introduced 50+ unconstitutional abortion bans. The writing is on the wall. It's time for the U.S. Senate to VOTE YES & PASS #WHPA 2/28/22. #ActForAbortionAccess bit.ly/2PdwbzN @SenBlumenthal @ChrisMurphyCT @ReproRights @PPact

@RemingtonArms stoops to new lows, trying to get private school records of children murdered with their firearms, of the slain #SandyHook students. This goliath corp is hurting families. This is unethical & the company should be ashamed of themselves. newstimes.com/local/article/…

Last week, I tweeted about this gun meant to look like a toy last week and our organization reached out to Lego, which then sent a cease and desist letter to the reckless gun maker - he says he’s complying. Read the story here: washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…
This "Lego Glock" is an actual thing you can buy, build and shoot: "...honestly what childhood toy is more welcoming than a big ole pile of blocks:” culperprecision.com/product/…
Unintentional shootings among children have risen by 30% in the past year.

…and it’s also in a state that does not require a license to openly carry a long gun & the open carry of handguns with a permit - and about to allow handguns to be carried WITHOUT a permit beginning 9/2021. #Texas #Texleg @GovAbbott @MomsDemand #endgunviolence #ENOUGH

Seven years ago today, ten people were shot in Isla Vista; three died.
One of the dead—my son Chris. Kind, gentle, smart and funny.
We miss you.
Too many loved ones—shot & killed.
Too many loved ones—shot & wounded.
Not one more.
