It's never been about rights. Now they're getting dangerously close to admitting it.
Tomorrow, Jan 7, two committee hearings will be held. The dangerous, pro-gun measures that will be discussed in these hearings will lead to more gun deaths and injuries. Contact your legislators now and demand they stand on the side of safety and common sense! act.waveedfund.org/a/notopermit...
About 1 person dies by suicide in the U.S. every 11 minutes. Every one of these deaths is preventable.
Gun violence is a tragedy. Always. In the past two weeks we've seen it wreak havoc on elementary students, teens, and a college campus. Every day across our country, people are shot in events that barely make the news. Our hearts break for all those impacted. We will never stop working for change.
Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We must act. #Action #EndGunViolence #WaveEdFund Sister Helen Prejean
Gun violence doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When people are denied access to affordable healthcare, the risk of violence grows. Prevention starts with equity. Congress must not make this problem worse. #EndGunViolence #HealthEquity #RootCauses

This week, the Department of Justice terminated major CVI funding — without warning, and without regard for the harm this causes. But we’re not giving up. We’re organizing. If you believe in community-led safety, now is the time to speak up. #ProtectCVI #ViolencePrevention @thehavi.bsky.social
