The Republican Party today made it clear as day that a peaceful Black man with a megaphone is more threatening to them than a thousand violent white men with deadly weapons.

The number of guns in America has tripled since 1970 to 400,000,000. And over two dozen states have stripped permitting requirements. Now the US has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation. So when do the guns start making us safer? abc11.com/gun-violence-s…

Kansas said no to publicly funding private & religious schools through vouchers. They said no to the AFC, DeAngelis, the billionaires & anti-public ed activists. Way to go Kansas. Public funds for public schools. This is the way! kansasreflector.com/2023/04/07/kan…

The gun used in today’s mass shooting in Louisville was an AR-15 style assault rifle. Louisville Rep Massie features a few AR-style rifles, an Uzi, an M60 and a Thompson machine gun in his Christmas card, in case you’re wondering if he cares.

Sweet home Chicago! Couldn’t have picked a better city 🎊 Way to go Democratic Party of Illinois and Governor JB Pritzker!

Parents and guardians should be held responsible when kids get access to unsecured guns.

Republicans’ gun extremism is killing us. Text ACT to 644-33.

The term "race conscious," as a descriptor for affirmative action, is as flawed as the term "race neutral" for the other admission metrics, as Uma Jayakumar and I explain The Atlantic. "Race conscious" reinforces the "race neutral" and "colorblind" frame. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

I approve this message.

Congratulations to our Demand A Seat Gun Sense Lawmakers of the Year! Thanks to their leadership in Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota, we have changed the political calculus on gun safety in these states & had major legislative wins this year. #GSU2023 etwn.us/47mUzSH

Welcome to Chicago, #GSU2023! I know we've had enough of "thoughts and prayers,” together we've taken on the gun lobby and made real change with Everytown. We go further today by signing the Firearm Industry Responsibility Act into law holding gun manufacturers accountable.

Such a great moment to witness! More states need to follow IL's example.

It is an honor to be part for the Demand a Seat Team.
