Who else is excited to watch Behind The Bullet tonight? The documentary follows the stories of how pulling a trigger impacted the shooter and the conflicting emotional/ethical injury shooting someone has. So much to learn from this documentary and we can’t wait for you to join.

On National Gun Violence Awareness Day, we #wearorange to honor those we’ve lost. As we begin to emerge from the pandemic, let’s not forget the other epidemic killing far too many Americans—and keep working to pass commonsense gun safety laws that will protect our communities.

Today, I #WearOrange in honor of Hadiya Pendleton and the countless Americans whose lives have been stolen by gun violence. This crisis has touched far too many of us. We can’t allow another year to pass without meaningful action. We must demand a future free of gun violence.

Today is the anniversary of the 2007 Salt Lake City Mall Shooting. Gun violence is not what we want to be remembered for. So ask for gun law reform by sending this postcard to Congress at shamecards.org shamecards.org/salt-lake-cit… #getoffended

Ed Rutan from the @UtahGVPC from says the studies cited by Rep. Brooks are in the minority. He says most studies since 2005 show that "right to carry laws" actually increase violence, including the most recent study done in 2019. #utleg

We’ve elected an Administration that says they believe in science, public health, equity and so many more of our values, so we expect swift action to fight for our vision. We're calling for a National Director of Gun Violence Prevention and a Director of Youth Engagement.

Please don’t forget - the only reason the gun violence prevention movement has gotten this far is because of decades of work by millions parents, spouses, siblings and friends that have had those they love stolen from them by gun violence.

110,000 Californians have bought a gun since the coronavirus arrived. More guns in more homes put families at risk of death, injuries, and trauma. We must invest in gun violence prevention strategies to keep our homes and communities safe. @latimes latimes.com/science/story/20…
