After Uvalde, our lawmakers showed us they do not care about keeping us safe in our schools. After El Paso, our lawmakers showed us they do not care about keeping us safe in our supermarkets. We will not be safe until there is action and change. Join us Wednesday.

NOW: The #SupremeCourt ends Affirmative Action- one of many decisions this week that will have devastating consequences for young people. This upends DECADES of precedent & deepens gaps of opportunity for Black and brown communities. Let's be clear: This is a RACIST decision.

Lawmakers like Ron DeSantis think that more guns make us safer. If more guns made us safer, the U.S. would be the safest country in the world. The GOP doesn’t care about keeping us safe– they care about how to line their pockets. Our lives are worth more than a gun.

We have the largest med center in the world. I’m putting forward an amendment to fund the 1st comprehensive #gunviolence injury dashboard in US. Gun violence is a public health crisis. We’re standardizing data reporting w/ help from our trauma centers, HPD, Health Dept, + others.

The Texas GOP has shown us time after time that they are choosing guns over lives-- it's time we show them what Texans choose. Majority of Texans demand safe, sensible gun legislation. @RyanGuillen, why are you ignoring the democratic process to bring HB 2744 to a vote? #TXLeg

Let this sink in—in the past 5 years, more 🇺🇸 children were killed in school than 🇺🇸 soldiers were killed in action. True fact. Next week, on the 5 year anniversary of March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives, let’s rally at state legislatures across the country. Text ACT to

JSA delegates from across Texas held mock legislative sessions to vote on bills. @MFOLHouston_ gave a compelling presentation on ending gun violence, @GregAbbott_TX spoke via video, and students made care packages for the homeless.

You have no right to a gun. You are not a militia. When you’re talking about your second amendment rights you’re talking about a states right to have what is today the national guard. The modern interpretation of 2A is a ridiculous fraud pushed for decades by the gun lobby.

Eleven years ago, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was pursued, shot, and killed by an armed vigilante while walking home from a Florida convenience store. Trayvon’s family will never receive justice—in part because of Florida’s Shoot First law, which essentially makes murder legal.

We can stop gun violence. We don’t have to live like this. It’s time for our politicians to wake up and do something about it.

Young people shouldn’t have an underlying fear that going to school could get them killed. That means our government has failed us. Plain and fucking simple.

The right to live our lives without getting shot up shouldn’t be controversial, but apparently, our “leaders” disagree. Sign up to rally with us in Austin, Texas 3/25/23. https://t.co/wicyKgmctE

5 years ago, we marched to demand basic gun safety measures after Parkland. We’re still here, still pissed, and still fighting to live free of gun violence.

People keep dying and we have to keep fighting for gun reform? Gun violence is a choice, not inevitable. We'll keep marching until lawmakers get their shit together. Stay tuned. #EnoughIsEnough

Schools should be a place of safety, of education, not a place where students fear for their lives. When will enough ever be enough? How many more lives have to be taken until our representatives take action? We can't keep living like this. We cannot keep dying like this.

As we closely follow the active shooting at Michigan State University and wait for updates, we cannot stop but think: When will it be enough? Students cannot live like this. We cannot keep surviving like this.
