Last week, after relentless advocacy by @MomsDemand volunteers in IL, @GovPritzker signed the #ProtectIllinoisCommunitiesAct into law—a critical gun safety package. But, this win didn't happen overnight. It's the result of years of tireless dedication by our Illinois volunteers🧵 
In 2018, @MomsDemand volunteers showed up (more than 500 strong) to the Illinois state house and successfully advocated for the Gun Dealer Licensing Act, SB 1657
Despite polling showing broad support for the bill, then-Gov Rauner vetoed the bill. But that didn’t stop @MomsDemand volunteers… politico.com/newsletters/il…
After starting @MomsDemand and serving as a full-time volunteer for a decade, I’m stepping back from my leadership role at the end of 2023. It's been the honor of a lifetime to lead this organization and fight for gun safety while empowering women to lead.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
Founders play an important - but finite - role in movements. We create a space to gather, but it’s the people who fill it who make the difference. And that’s the amazing @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers and gun violence survivors I've worked with for so many years.
It was important to me to step back so that others can step forward. I’ve always said this is a marathon, not a sprint. But the reality is, it’s also a relay race. And the time has come for me to pass the baton to other leaders in our organization and movement.
Correction to NRA's tweet.
#Missouri, in which the #moleg is attempting to pass even more extreme guns everywhere laws, had 689 people shot and killed in 2020, "a year that will likely be recorded as the state’s deadliest ever for gun violence."

More facts rather than hyperbole:
"By the end of the year, Missouri had the third-highest per-capita rate of gun deaths in the country, behind" LA & MS.
We still don’t know exactly how many people died from guns in 2020. No state or fed govt agency publishes total #s of gun suicides & gun homicides for MO.
