DMV friends - Channel your outrage into action.
We are outraged. We are sad. We want action.
D.C., Maryland & Virginia @MomsDemand & @StudentsDemand volunteers have gathered at the @WhiteHouse tonight after the elementary school shooting in #UvaldeTX.
We don’t have to live like this. Text ACT to 644-33.

Our children deserve #MoreThanThoughtsAndPrayers from our elected leaders to end to protect them from gun violence—in their schools and communities.
If you agree, join the movement to #EndGunViolence: Text ACT to 644-33.

We’re devastated for Uvalde, Texas.
Once again, gun violence has forced its way into our schools, leaving nothing but devastation, trauma, and tragedy in its wake.
We can’t afford to wait for action — we must demand it now.
Join us: Text ACT to 644-33.

Looking forward to hearing from @drvsimon today about fostering supportive environments in schools.
We can’t give up on doing what is right for kids this school year. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

On Jan 9, Xzavier Hill was shot 3 times by police during a traffic stop for speeding.
As a Virginia @MomsDemand volunteer, I’d like to join his family in calling for @VSPPIO to release video footage in the shooting death of Xzavier Hill.

A few weeks ago, a constituent named John sent me an angry message about guns. He’s a dues-paying member of the NRA and an avid gun enthusiast. But instead of fighting online, we decided to meet for coffee and listen to each other... (1/3)
