Every day, more than 100 Americans are killed with guns. Gun homicide rates in the U.S. are 26x higher than other developed nations. I #WearOrange in honor of those who lost their lives to gun violence. #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay @MomsDemand @Everytown

Ten years ago I published Reducing Gun Violence in America @JHUPress. It pains me that firearms are now the leading cause of death for youths in America (CDC, 2021). I #WearOrange with hope🧡for real change to #EndGunViolence. #AUPWearOrange #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay

I #WearOrange for Danny, gone far too soon. For my kids, who will soon understand why the school wants them to hide. For survivors who share stories on #momentsthatsurvive. For my colleagues and the countless volunteers. #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay

On a day when my waves resemble the gales of November, I ask... Does any one know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours? Rest in peace, Gordon Lightfoot, you will always have a place here. It's been good to know ya. 🙏🌊

At @PENamerica we are alarmed at news of "hundreds of changes" to venerated works by @roald_dahl in a purported effort to scrub the books of that which might offend someone. 1/13 theguardian.com/books/2023/f…
