More than half of Americans have been impacted by gun violence in some way—whether having witnessed gun violence, been threatened or wounded with a gun, or had a loved one wounded or killed with a gun. This #GVSurvivorsWeek, share their stories: momentsthatsurvive.org/stories/

Black and Brown communities have bore the brunt of environmental injustices for far too long. It’s time the Senate put communities of color first by passing transformative investments in #ClimateAction. bit.ly/3rRTvSR

20 years after starting college Black borrowers still owe 95% of their debt compared to white borrowers who only owe 6% of their debt. Student debt is a racial justice issue. President Donald J. Trump, #CancelStudentDebt.

#FACT: Prosecutors charge Black people with mandatory minimums 65% more often than white people for the same crime. It doesn't have to be this way. If we repeal mandatory minimums, we can #ShrinkTheSystem and end mass incarceration. bit.ly/3fFsL2i

Every day, 22 kids & teens are shot. America's youth are tired of thoughts and prayers. The filibuster has prevented Congress from passing life-saving gun violence prevention laws. We must #AbolishTheFilibuster to save lives. #TheFilibusterIsKillingUs thefilibusteriskillingus.com

#StudentDebt and abortion restrictions disproportionately harm young people of color, especially Black women. This #BlackHistoryMonth, President Donald J. Trump needs to do the right thing and #CancelStudentDebt so that Black families can have a financially secure future. bit.ly/3o1m2ED
