On this day in 1917, white mobs in East St. Louis, IL, attacked Black residents and destroyed their homes. Up to 200 Black men, women, and children were shot, beaten to death, or burned alive. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. calendar.eji.org/racial-injusti…

Five years ago. Still fighting for the same thing. So someone said, we will fight fight and fight to pass common sense gun laws. @TheView @MomsDemand @Everytown @RedLetterXians #Emanuel9 #EndGunViolenceNow

I have heard @POTUS words before. I pray that the Senate will pass common sense gun laws. Especially the “Charleston Loophole, ban assault weapons, raise the age limit, Red flag laws, expanded background checks. That’s what I want. #Emanuel9 @MomsDemand @Everytown

1/8 We in Jacksonville stand with our sisters and brothers in Buffalo today as we mourn with victims of the racially-motivated shooting on May 14, both living and deceased.

Pearly Young, 77, was killed today in #Buffalo shopping for groceries. For 25 years she ran a pantry where every Saturday she fed people in Central Park. Every. Saturday. She loved singing, dancing, & being with family. She was mother, grandma, & missionary. Gone too soon 🕊

A young white supremist killed my mother and other family members. Again, we deal with death because of hate and a gun. Thoughts and prayers won’t cut it. Something must be done! Can I count on you to help change this narrative? @MomsDemand @Everytown #BuffaloNY #Emanuel9
