During #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth , let’s promote hope & healing. If you’re in crisis, remember that help is available & you’re never alone. That’s why I helped create 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, to ensure there’s always someone there who is trained to help.

Kudos to Secretary Gina Raimondo for strengthening gun export rules. Vetting buyers of these exports will help reduce gun violence & human rights abuses abroad by preventing drug traffickers and international gangs from getting their hands on U.S. firearms and ammo. commerce.gov/news/press-rel…
