I’m old enough to remember when @GovMikeDeWine said he supported gun violence prevention policies after the Dayton mass shooting.
Instead, Ohio just became the 23rd state with permitless carry — legislation that is associated with INCREASES in violent crime.

NEW: Congress took major action against gun violence by passing $50 million in funding for community violence intervention programs and reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act. This legislation makes communities safer and has the power to save lives. thetrace.org/newsletter/fede…

The House passage of VAWA is a victory that will strengthen support for sexual assault survivors, especially for Black and minoritized communities that are disproportionately impacted by intimate partner violence-related homicide. Full statement:

Violence interrupters put themselves at risk every day for a chance to make their communities safer. In an unspeakably tragic year, @SafeStreetsBalt lost three of their devoted workers to gun violence. Community violence interventionists need our support. thetrace.org/2022/03/baltimo…

This verdict is a disturbing reminder of the injustices Black and Brown people face and the lethality of no-knock warrants. Read our statement from 2020, after the initial failure to charge the police officers responsible for the killing of Breonna Taylor: csgv.org/injustice-in-kentuc…

As the recent killing of Amir Locke reminds us, no-knock warrants can lead to unjust death, further fuel police mistrust and have a negative impact on community violence. @EFSGV’s page on police violence explains the challenge and outlines solutions: efsgv.org/learn/type-of-gun-…

Tonight we heard @POTUS call for proven solutions that will help end the gun violence epidemic and save lives. It’s time for Congress to act. #SOTU
2 Mar 2022
I’m calling on Congress to:
- Pass universal background checks
- Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
- Repeal the liability shield that makes gun manufacturers the only industry that can’t be sued
These laws don’t infringe on the Second Amendment. They save lives.
