Every day, I am grateful that my NY Senator @BrianKavanaghNY is a huge gun violence prevention champion.
Thanks to his legislative director @DanielMosherNY for meeting with survivors and advocates today and asking what else can be done. @MomsDemand #NYPol

I’m excited to share the trailer for Working. In this series, I talk to American workers across various industries – from hospitality and technology to home care – to understand their jobs and hopes for the future. I hope you’ll check it out on @Netflix on May 17.

Once again, our nation mourns after a senseless act of gun violence – Jill and I pray for the lives lost and impacted by today's shooting.
Too many Americans are paying for the price of inaction with their lives.
When will Republicans in Congress act to protect our communities?
Young people are facing a wall of trauma from our country's gun violence epidemic.
Powerful words from Senator @ChrisMurphyCT: "This is a clear mandate. Everyone needs to step up, stop being scared of the issue, and raise your voice."

NY police are required to use extreme risk protection orders (red flag laws).

Important convo between my fellow @sandyhook Advisory Board member @drchethansathya and @Surgeon_General Vivek Murthy: "We're paying a broader price of gun violence, in how it impacts survivors and communities." @NorthwellHealth #PreventGunViolence
Inspiring morning at @NorthwellHealth's Gun Violence Prevention Forum. @NicoleHockley shared @sandyhook's impact on implementing intervention & prevention strategies on the ground: ~160K anonymous tips reported across the US, & a 14th school shooting averted. #PreventGunViolence
Really awesome #GunViolencePrevention segment on this week’s @SlateGabfest. At 37:22, @johndickerson explains how experts have debunked most conservative arguments like “armed guards” and “hardened doors.” pca.st/episode/a4d40fdd-d786…

A stunning 2 hours:
1)Trump knew the protesters had guns
2)He assaulted his own security team
3)There may be a line from ProudBoys to the WH
4)Top aides asked for pardons
5)The commission thinks they have evidence of witness tampering.
That is a very, very bad day for Trump.

BREAKING: 65 senators just voted to advance the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act! Now, the FINAL floor vote is only hours away & we must put the pressure on!
Please call both of your senators now (again!) and urge them to vote yes to save lives. Text PROTECT to 79775.
For the first time in decades, the Senate has a bipartisan bill for commonsense gun safety measures. Contact your senator immediately and tell them to support the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Text PROTECT to 79775 now. @sandyhook #EndGunViolence

10/ Drafting this law and passing it through both chambers will not be easy. We have a long way before this gets to the President’s desk. But with your help and activism, we can get this done. This time, failure cannot be an option.

9/ So grateful to @JohnCornyn @kyrstensinema @SenThomTillis @SenToomey @Sen_JoeManchin @SenBlumenthal @SenatorCollins @LindseyGrahamSC @ChrisCoons @TeamHeinrich @BillCassidy and others for their amazing work to get us this far.

8/ Will this bill do everything we need to end our nation’s gun violence epidemic? No. But it’s real, meaningful progress. And it breaks a 30 year log jam, demonstrating that Democrats and Republicans can work together in a way that truly saves lives.

7/ Clarification of the laws regarding who needs to register as a licensed gun dealer, to make sure all truly commercial sellers are doing background checks.
Nicole Benincasa retweeted
6/ Enhanced background check for under 21 gun buyers and a short pause to conduct the check. Young buyers can get the gun only after the enhanced check is completed.
Nicole Benincasa retweeted
5/ First ever federal law against gun trafficking and straw purchasing. This will be a difference making tool to stop the flow of illegal guns into cities.
Nicole Benincasa retweeted
4/ Close the “boyfriend loophole”, so that no domestic abuser - a spouse OR a serious dating partner - can buy a gun if they are convicted of abuse against their partner.
