Police violence is gun violence. Our hearts break for Adam Toledo & his family. Stand up to police brutality and gun violence, lives depend on it.

Yesterday Ed met with local @MomsDemand activists and community members to call for an End to Gun Violence. This is an epidemic plaguing our communities and we MUST pass more common sense gun reform and create a trauma-informed health plan to end it. This is why we #WearOrange – at Pittsburgh, PA

Today on National Gun Violence Awareness Day we must honor those we have lost by recommitting to the hard work of making our communities safer for ALL. That means working to pass more common sense gun reform & creating a trauma-informed public health plan to curb this epidemic.

Gun violence has become our status quo. It shouldn’t be, but it is. Every day, more than 100 people are killed & 230 more are wounded with guns, and gun violence has become the leading cause of death for American children & teens. This can't continue to be our reality.

You can count on @MomsDemand to show up when when bills that will make Pennsylvanians less safe are introduced! Volunteers are at the Capitol today urging the House Judiciary Committee to vote NO on HB659 (permitless carry) & HB979 (punitive preemption) #PALeg

Happy Birthday, Michael Brown Jr. You should be turning 25 today. We marched in Ferguson for 400 days for you. And now we’re in Congress, working to build a world where you’d never have been taken from us. We love you.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teens in America. Might be ~controversial~ but we think we deserve better. If you agree, call your senators & tell them to take action on background checks now: buff.ly/3e25B60
