@AMarch4OurLives Honor with Action

Eight years ago, lives were forever shattered when a gunman entered Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and killed 17 students and educators, wounding many more. We remember. We were told our pain, grief, and anger would fade with time. We were told that the systems putting gun profits over the lives of children were too powerful and too entrenched to challenge. Yet over these eight years, we have marched by the millions. We have registered a generation of voters. We have fought in the halls of Congress and in statehouses across the country, securing effective gun safety laws. And we have changed how this country talks about guns and gun violence. Still, much remains undone. While we have fought, thousands of innocent people have been killed by everyday gun violence and mass shootings. And those threatened by our movement are working to dismantle hard-won progress. On this heavy day, we carry our beloved 17 with us as a charge to keep going. The march is not over. It is accelerating. Our movement will outlast thoughts and prayers, and it will outlive those determined to turn back the clock. We will not stop until we have built a country where no one has to fear gun violence.

The families ask that you understand that each of them is unique in their own experiences following the tragedy and each has their own voice and perspective. We will never forget. #EndGunViolence

In 2021, a milestone was achieved - bipartisan HALT Drink Driving Law, mandating advanced impaired driving detection technology in all new cars. The next crucial step is for Congress to allocate funding for full implementation, potentially saving over 10,000 lives annually. #MADD45

For over 15 years, it was a joy and honor of my life to work passionately on @MADD lifesaving mission. Recently, I stood alongside victims, survivors of impaired crashes, and traffic safety advocates in DC at the MADD 45th Anniversary event. #MADD45 #NoMoreVictims

North Carolina reps passed a permitless carry bill that would let people as young as 18 carry loaded handguns without a background check. Thanks to Gov Stein’s veto, we have one last chance to stop it. Send a message urging your reps to vote no! >> etwn.us/4nf6o5b

North Carolina lawmakers will vote soon on a permitless carry bill that would let people as young as 18 carry loaded handguns without a background check. This needs to stop. Join me and tell your lawmakers to vote no! >> etwn.us/3WRdxgK #NCPol @MomsDemand

Spent an amazing day with fellow advocates and volunteers @MomsDemand opposing permitless carry in North Carolina. It’s a common sense policy that helps protect North Carolinians from gun violence. #NCPolicy #MomsAreEverywhere

@EricSchultz Major win!

this is a major win for the gun safety movement and a tough blow to those who profit off the manufacturing of ghost guns, responsible for deadly shootings across the country.

The addiction crisis is one of the most pressing challenges facing our nation today. Congress must take action that addresses prevention, ensures access to high-quality care, and promotes a culture of recovery. shatterproof.quorum.us/campaign/105754

When Lucy McBath left her position as Everytown’s faith outreach leader and ran for Congress, we went all-in — and now she’s a national leader on gun safety who can count on our full support as she heads into her fourth term.

Voting is your right. Don’t let anyone prevent you from exercising it. Save these Election Protection Hotline numbers in your phone.

I’m a NC @MomsDemand volunteer spending the weekend calling NC voters reminding them that guns are the leading cause of death of kids and teens in America. Pledge to be a #GunSense voter. #MomsAreEverywhere
