About 76% of top-performing working women received negative feedback from their bosses compared to just 2% of high-achieving men, according to a new report from management software company Textio, which analyzed performance reviews for more than 23,000 workers

As a mom and pediatrician, I couldn’t agree more with this 👇🏽 “Our first sense of responsibility is to keep our kids safe!” - Governor Tim Walz #ProtectKids #KeepKidsSafe #PutKidsFirst #DNCConvention2024 #VoteKids

Thoughts and prayers are not enough to tackle the gun violence epidemic taking the lives of young Americans who just went back to school. We must pass common sense gun safety laws to keep students safe and alive.

We stand with the students and families of Apalachee High School and the Winder community and pray that today’s events shock us into acting. Experiencing the sorrow of gun violence is a policy failure. We don’t have to live like this. End gun violence now.

The students at Apalachee HS started school a month ago. Today some won’t come home, because the gun lobby’s profits were prioritized over their safety. These could be your kids. These could be my kids. So I ask what any parent would. “What are we doing about the guns?”

Kids returning to school shouldn't have to worry about the threat of gun violence, but yet another community has been tragically affected by a school shooting. AAP mourns with all affected in GA and will continue to advocate for policies to keep kids safe and to #EndGunViolence

UPDATE: The shooter is believed to be a 14-year-old boy. Georgia has no minimum age to purchase rifles, doesn’t require parents to securely store guns, and doesn’t have background checks on all gun sales. cnn.com/2024/09/04/us/…

These parents will not be able to kiss their children goodnight tonight. I ask our state leaders to not sit on the sidelines but to take action and pass gun safety legislaton that could prevent tragedies like today from happening. Georgia Chapter AAP Kiesha Fraser Doh Sarah

We must ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines again, require safe storage of firearms, enact universal background checks, and end immunity for gun manufacturers. Thoughts and prayers are not enough.

Georgia has some of the weakest gun laws in the country: ❌ No minimum age to purchase rifles ❌ No background check law ❌ No secure storage requirement ✅ Allows open carry ✅ Allows permitless carry ✅ Allows K-12 teachers to carry guns

Seeing a lot of messaging about how this isn’t the time for policy conversations. I agree. We should’ve taken action this past biennial actually. Better yet, we should’ve figured this out years ago. #GAPol

No, Governor Brian P. Kemp, it wasn't an "incident." It was a mass shooting. On your watch. Because you insist that guns are more precious than children and teachers. And your thoughts and prayers can't bring them back.

Parents should expect they can send their child to school and they come home safely. A 14 y/o should never have access to a gun. Georgia has an F rating for the strength of its gun laws. We need Child Access Prevention laws now. #SafeStorage

This is a good day to point out that South Carolina had a safe firearm storage bill introduced in the last legislative session. It didn't even get a committee hearing. Just safe storage. Nothing else in this bill. Maybe we can do better next year.

So to recap. Republicans think it's inappropriate to talk about gun safety or violence prevention policy after a mass shooting. They also think it's inappropriate to talk about gun safety or violence prevention policy 𝙗𝙚𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙚 a mass shooting. That…just about covers it.

My ask for 2025: I'd like The Pediatric Health Safe Storage Act to be assigned to the Public Health Committee, where it belongs. I'd like this bill to be heard, and to come to a vote. We had an opportunity last term. Republicans chose to do nothing. georgiarecorder.com/2024/09/06/geo…

Did you know that in Georgia, homicides have risen 101% since Republicans started weakening gun laws? Did you know that in Georgia, it is NOT illegal to give your teen an AR-15? Did you know that in Georgia, it is NOT illegal to leave a gun lying around the house around kids?

Hey ⬜ America: are you REALLY okay with this? Four cops and a knee in the neck for a traffic violation? Forget for a minute that #TyreekHill is famous. Are you okay with this against ANY Black person? Because I most certainly am not. And you shouldn't be, either.
