A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. Congressman Congressman Andy Ogles, sending your #thoughtsandprayers to families of students & educators killed by #CovenantSchool shooter mean less than nothing, especially when you glorify weapons of war in your Xmas card. #Shame #BanAssaultWeaponsNow


CALL Mitch McConnell tell him #thoughtsandprayersarenotenough. Demand stronger federal gun laws: #BanAssaultWeapons #universalbackgoundchecks & permit to purchase. Reach him at 202-224-2541. "We send our prayers to the victims..." McConnell tweeted. abcnews.go.com/US/live-update…


Hard work and persistence pays off. Well done Sandy Phillips!

WE CAN'T ESCAPE THIS said Sam Saylor, grandfather of 12yo Se'Cret Pierce killed in drive-by shooting in #Hartford. We must do more to help communities escape cycles of violence by funding community violence intervention. washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/04… Richard Blumenthal Chris Murphy 🟧


Awesome turnout at the CT state capitol for CAGV Lobby Day, building support for Gov Ned Lamont Act Addressing Gun Violence, #HB6667. Talked to legislators on both sides of the issue. Students were fearless in making the case to #EndGunViolence



Thank you CT House Democrats & @cthouserules for passing budget w/ significant appropriations to combat gun violence, up significantly from last year and what was initially proposed in the Governor's budget. ctmirror.org/2023/06/06/ct-…

Huge gathering of advocates, survivors & activists at #NationalSaferCommunitiesSummit welcoming Sen. Chris Murphy 🟧 kickoff today’s commemoration of 1yr anniversary of #BipartisanSaferCommunitiesAct #EndGunViolence #stronggunlawssavelives #investtosavelives #thepeoplewhodothework

Thank you Maxine Waters and other U.S. Representatives for co-sponsoring H.R. 660 to require safe storage of firearms. Follow CT's lead and implement a "no exceptions" requirement that all guns must be secured when not in owner's control. #safestoragesaveslives

LET THIS SINK IN: #SCOTUS, as direct result of its extreme rewrite of constitutional law in #Bruen decision, is going to decide whether it's constitutional to prohibit domestic abusers from having guns. United For Democracy nytimes.com/2023/06/30/us/…
