The NRA is trying to use the Supreme Court to eviscerate gun violence prevention legislation across the country and allow anyone to carry guns in public with no restrictions. We just filed a survivor-centered amicus brief at the Supreme Court to fight back.

We’re glad to see the courts calling out DeSantis’ anti-protest bill what it is: an assault on free speech. This law wasn’t made to protect, it was made to oppress and incarcerate those who fight for justice. Thank you @Dreamdefenders @NAACP_LDF and others for their work!!

Thank you @mfolflorida for holding a rally in Downtown Orlando to hold @marcorubio accountable to his LACK of action in helping to end gun violence. So awesome to see @brandonjwol too. 💪🏽

📢📢 Hey y’all we got state board apps open!! We’re looking for passionate youth that want to make change in Florida. Check the link below to apply. https://t.co/YOiFte6nX1

Vetoeing a civic education bill? That's a new low for DeSantis. SB 146 would have given students volunteer hours for participating in non-partisan civic groups, taught them about political affairs, and provided crucial real-world skills. https://t.co/P2QVn5q22D

See you there!
