This Mother’s Day, we don’t want cards. We don’t want flowers.

This is devastating 💔. 70 women are shot and killed by an intimate partner every month. The ripple effects of guns in the hands of an abuser extends beyond their relationship: impacting children, coworkers, neighbors, and more.
Five family members were found dead in an Ohio home in what police are calling a "domestic dispute that turned deadly," according to a news release.

We have got to change the culture of violence in this country where pulling a gun and firing over a dispute is even an option. Policy AND behavioral change.
During an argument over fireworks, a 27-year-old Missouri man pulled out a handgun and began firing at a group of people, hitting three of them, ages 40, 29 and 9.
Missouri lawmakers just loosened the state’s gun laws.

No community is safe from gun violence and we need to make sure our work to end this epidemic includes all communities – especially those most disproportionately impacted.

THEY DID IT! After opposition by
@MomsDemand
volunteers & others, Congress FAILED to repeal
@ATFHQ

The expectation of the public is clear: Lawmakers should be working to pass gun safety laws, not advancing the gun lobby’s agenda.

It speaks volumes that someone like
@theestallion
could be mocked and called a liar for speaking up against the man who shot her.
Black women like Megan deserve to be safe from gun violence. We at
@Everytown
and
@MomsDemand
stand with her.
#EndGunViolence
MeToo founder Tarana Burke, Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson, Tamika Mallory, Maxine Waters + more signed an open letter of support for Megan
@TheeStallion
:
“it must be said that you have been treated in ways that no young woman–no person at all–should be treated.”
