Brady | United Against Gun Violence
@bradyunited
We are uniting Americans from coast to coast, red and blue and every color, to end gun violence. Led by @KrisBrown.bradyunited.org.
27 years ago today, the Northern Valley Jewish Community in CA was the target of a heinous shooting that wounded 5 people, including 3 children. We must continue to honor the victims and survivors of this attack by working to disarm hate and address easy access to guns.
12 years ago today, Michael Brown, a Black teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, was fatally shot by a police officer. We must address police violence, racial injustice, and the disproportionate impact gun violence has on Black communities in the U.S.
Seven years ago, a 21-year-old gunman, motivated by hate, opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 23 people. The violence committed on that day is a reminder of why we need to ban assault weapons and disarm hate.
Just over a week ago, 50 young people from across the country came together for Brady's @teamenough.org Youth Leadership Summit. We're thankful for partners like @marchforourlives.bsky.social who know the power of youth advocacy to free America from gun violence!
The Trump administration is working to create an "Amazon for Guns" — an online gun marketplace that would, for the first time ever, deliver firearms straight to your doorstep. But guns aren't groceries. And shotguns shouldn’t be delivered like cereal. Take action: bradyunited.org/amazonforguns
Following a recent Supreme Court decision, Hawaii businesses must post signs informing the public that guns are banned on their property. Brady has partnered with Honolulu law firm Davis Levin Livingston to provide free signs to businesses that want to exercise that right.
OTD in 2012, a mass shooting killed 12 people and wounded 70 others at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. Since then, CO has taken monumental steps to improve public safety—but there's more work to be done. We'll continue fighting in honor of all those impacted.
30 years ago today, George C. Scott was shot and killed at a graduation party. Today and every day, we send love to his mother, Brady California President Mattie Scott, who works tirelessly to #EndGunViolence in honor of her son.
Last month, SCOTUS ruled that guns can be carried on Hawaii private property unless owners explicitly ban them. We're distributing free signs for business owners who want to preserve safety and keep their stores & restaurants gun-free. Read more: bradyunited.org/press/hawaii-businesses-gun-signs
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero should be alive today. No one, regardless of where they were born or what their papers say, deserves to live in fear of being shot. No more ICE agents in our communities. Read our statement: bradyunited.org/press/ice-shooting-texas-maine
Today, Jaime Guttenberg would have turned 26, but she's forever 14 because she was senselessly murdered at her high school in Parkland, FL. We can honor her life by taking action to prevent gun violence. Thinking of her family and friends today, especially @fredguttenberg.bsky.social
The Trump administration is decimating the ATF's ability to regulate the gun industry and putting forth regulations that make us all less safe. Every favor this administration does for the gun industry comes at the expense of American lives. via @nytimes https://nyti.ms/44RJusG
10 years ago today, Alton Sterling was killed by Louisiana police. He was tased, tackled to the ground, and shot six times. This is what police violence looks like. We must end systemic racism and take action to establish the reform and accountability needed to prevent more tragedies.
What goes up ⬆️ must come down ⬇️ ...And that applies to gunfire. Someone’s “celebratory gunfire” is not worth another person’s life.
As we mark the 250th anniversary of America, let’s reject a definition of freedom that asks us to accept daily fear and gun violence. We demand a country free from gun violence. Join us in the fight at bradyunited.org.
On July 4, 2022, a gunman used an assault weapon to shoot and kill seven people, wounding dozens of others, at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park, IL. Let’s honor the victims & survivors with action by banning assault weapons nationwide before another tragedy strikes.
There are an avg. of 1,750 unintentional shooting incidents per year, with incidents highest during the summer and around holidays — especially the week of July Fourth. Always store guns locked, unloaded, and separate from ammunition to prevent family fire. #EndFamilyFire
Today, Brady joined the New York State Office of Gun Violence Prevention @NYSDCJS and the @AdCouncil in launching a new statewide @EndFamilyFire campaign, promoting awareness about secure firearm storage options to prevent firearm misuse. Learn more at endfamilyfire.org/ny.
Happy Father's Day to all of the dads and father figures who have lost children to gun violence, the dads we have lost, and to the dads who work tirelessly to create a safer future for generations to come.
Today is #ASKDay. Before your child visits a friend’s house, ask: “Is there an unlocked gun where my child plays?” Parents ask about allergies, pets, and pools. Asking about unsecured firearms should be just as normal. One question could save a child's life. #AskingSavesKids
Yesterday, as part of Gun Violence Awareness Month, we joined leaders on Capitol Hill to highlight common-sense solutions to prevent domestic violence and gun violence. Thank you @mcbath.house.gov, and the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social for your leadership and dedication on this issue!
We #wearorange for all of those impacted by gun violence. More than 100 people a day die by firearms in the U.S., hundreds more are shot, and countless others are forever changed. Join Brady and be part of the solution. #EndGunViolence.
Today is the first day of Gun Violence Awareness Month. America has a gun violence crisis unmatched by other countries. But we are not powerless to end this epidemic. If you believe everyone deserves a life free from gun violence, join us and take action at bradyunited.org.
Yesterday marked 7 years since 12 people were killed and multiple others were wounded in a mass shooting at the Virginia Beach Municipal Center. It was one of the deadliest workplace shootings in U.S. history. #honorwithaction
Brady, the Chicago Mayor's Office of Community Safety, and local partners hosted a healing retreat for advocates and survivors of gun violence to discuss the connection between trauma, community violence, and the firearm industry’s role in the gun violence crisis.
This Memorial Day, we remember and honor those service members who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe. Join us in honoring them by demanding a safer America free of gun violence.
No parent should have to bury their child. But 4 years ago today, 19 children and 2 teachers were killed at their elementary school in Uvalde, TX. Guns are the #1 cause of death of kids in America. As a nation, we must change course. Join us: bradyunited.org.
This week, Governor Spanberger signed a bill into law prohibiting the carrying of firearms on college campuses in Virginia, AND a bill banning the future sale of Assault Weapons and large-capacity magazines. That makes 22 bills the Governor has signed to prevent gun violence and keep VA safe!
56 years ago, police at Jackson State College in MS confronted a group of students. Hours later, the police opened fire, killing two students and injuring twelve others. This week, we’re revisiting an episode of our podcast about the history of the Jackson State shooting. https://bit.ly/4dqHHyU
Four years ago today, 10 people were senselessly shot and killed at the Tops Supermarket in Buffalo, NY. All of the victims were Black. We must take action to address white supremacy and ban assault weapons!
