If you are a current/former educator & want to end gun violence in schools & communities, please join @TeachersUnify. We are stronger when we act together & we must act now.

The U.S.’ inaction towards stopping the gun violence epidemic is a violation of our human rights. Our country continually fails to protect its own people from gun violence at large & fails to keep even innocent children safe in schools. Rest in power to those lost in Uvalde, TX.

We demand and deserve a nation free of gun violence.
We demand more than Thoughts and Prayers.

Another day, another tragedy, and still no action to protect our kids.
How many more of our youngest must pay the price before our Republican colleagues finally grow a backbone and join us in action to curb the gun violence epidemic and protect our communities? https://t.co/R7vJYmnudU

All these “pro-life” politicians don’t seem to give a damn about our kids being shot in their own schools.

We need to do something. We know what we disagree on we need to focus on what we can and do it even if small. No more debate or thoughts and prayers. We need bipartisan action.

Ann & I are heartbroken to hear about the horrific shooting at Robb Elementary School. No student should ever be afraid to go to school. The violence must end.
We are praying for all of the victims, their families & all affected by this senseless act.

14 children, babies, murdered. 14 parents putting their kids in the ground. 14 empty rooms in their house. 14 futures destroyed. We passed meaningful gun violence prevention In Florida after Parkland. Democrats in DC, Bypass the filibuster and pass federal gun violence prevention https://t.co/TBWL9Ic6M5

If I show up to school tomorrow & there are news trucks outside of MSD so we can be the backdrop for their liveshot, I’m going to lose my mind.
