🚨 3 people shot outside a Queens nightclub early Sunday, the same venue where a 2023 shooting left 1 dead. Our communities deserve more than reactive policing. We need: 🔸 Real investment in CVI 🔸 Support for survivors 🔸 Accountability for repeated violence in known hotspots

This year’s Justice Camp in Nevada was a powerful 2-day gathering of advocates, survivors & youth leaders committed to building safer communities. We talked CVI, grassroots power, & heard from Rep. Steven Horsford and local changemakers doing the work every day.

🚨 House Republicans just stripped silencers of ATF oversight — meaning no registration, no background checks. Silencers muffle gunfire. And removing these safeguards puts lives at risk, especially in Black and Brown communities. This is NOT reform.

Detroit rapper Skilla Baby was shot in a targeted drive-by last night near 8 Mile. He’s expected to be okay—but this cycle of violence keeps tearing through our communities. We need more than thoughts. We need action.

🕯️3 years ago today, 21 lives were stolen at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX, a town forever changed by this tragedy. We remember them & hold space for those impacted. This didn’t have to happen. We’re still fighting for a world where schools are safe.

It’s been 5 years since George Floyd was murdered by police. He should be alive today. We remember him — not just for how he was killed, but for how he lived. And we honor him by continuing the fight for real justice and lasting change.

Five years ago today, Sean Monterrosa was killed by Vallejo police. He was only 22 years old — a son, a brother, a friend, a beloved member of his community. His family is still fighting for justice. We stand with them, and we say his name: Sean Monterrosa.

9 years ago, a night meant for celebration turned into tragedy at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. 49 LGBTQ+ lives — many of them young, Latinx, and full of hope — were stolen by hate. Today, we remember them and hold space for those who continue to bear the weight of this tragedy.

Last year, during a Juneteenth Festival in Round Rock, TX, violence shattered a day meant to celebrate Black freedom & resilience. Two precious lives were taken from their families & community. We honor the families & survivors as they continue to navigate unimaginable loss.

Juneteenth is a reminder that justice has always been delayed for Black communities, & that freedom has always been fought for, not freely given. Today, we honor our ancestors & celebrate resilience. We recommit to the work of liberation — not just in memory, but in action.
