@EFSGV sounded the alarm on armed intimidation in its report "Defending Democracy: Addressing the Dangers of Armed Insurrection." Check out the full report: (6/6).

Leader of USEIP promoting armed intimidation of voters "can be seen in a video among a group of violent Trump supporters who clashed with police outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021." (5/6).

"[F]ear is even more acute for Black and Latino communities who have, historically, faced extensive violence and intimidation efforts, often instigated by armed individuals, to prevent their free exercise of the franchise." (4/6).

"USEIP's (U.S. Election Integrity Plan) public-facing actions are a clear signal to Colorado voters, especially voters of color, that to vote in an upcoming election means facing interrogation by potentially armed and threatening USEIP agents at their doorstep thereafter." (3/6).

"No one should have to be afraid to go to the polls or fear that doing so will mean being threatened in their own homes,” said @FSFP senior counsel Courtney Hostetler. (2/6).

Violence interrupters put themselves at risk every day for a chance to make their communities safer. In an unspeakably tragic year, @SafeStreetsBalt lost three of their devoted workers to gun violence. Community violence interventionists need our support.

As the recent killing of Amir Locke reminds us, no-knock warrants can lead to unjust death, further fuel police mistrust and have a negative impact on community violence. @EFSGV’s page on police violence explains the challenge and outlines solutions:

As our @laurenjfootman said in 2020, “Today you should be celebrating your 27th birthday with your loved ones. But, unfortunately, your life was cut short due to a justice system steeped in racism. Today and every day, I will uplift your name…”

This verdict is a disturbing reminder of the injustices Black and Brown people face and the lethality of no-knock warrants. Read our statement from 2020, after the initial failure to charge the police officers responsible for the killing of Breonna Taylor:

News -> The Virginia Senate Judiciary Committee has BLOCKED efforts to repeal critical gun violence prevention laws. This is a victory for gun safety and making progress towards ending this public health epidemic. Read our full statement:
