We must act, holding our leaders and corporate power accountable! #ClimateActionNow #ClimateCrisis #ClimateJustice @WV_Rising
Every #Republican & #Democrat in the #Senate whose refused to support #ClimateAction has responsibility for the #extremeheat, #wildfires & #floods happening across our country & their lack of action is placing vulnerable communities lives in danger but there is a pathway forward!

This initiative from @RANDCorporation is vitally important for promoting an intelligent, scientific, and fact-based conversation on #GunPolicy and #GunViolence. @CDCgov should do more on this front and our leaders must give it the funding and leeway to do so! #GunViolenceEpidemic
The RAND Gun Policy in America initiative was designed to establish a shared set of facts on gun policy that will improve public discussions and support the development of fair and effective policies. bit.ly/3yWs0wB
