Hearing @EdMarkey speak on the Senate floor about the need to put #PeopleOverPentagon reminded me why I joined this fight. On every piece of #genprev related legislation I lobbied him on over the past 5 years he said yes, I'm already on it, or I wrote it. Here they all are 🧵
The first piece of legislation I ever lobbied on was the Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act of 2016 - @EdMarkey was an Original Co-Sponsor. As a part of @standnow I spent years lobbying on this piece of legislation - Ed was on it from the get-go.
This bill became the Elie Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act of 2018, @EdMarkey was again an Original Co-Sponsor. It was a monumental victory for the atrocities prevention community when this bill was signed into law. Kennedy was not a co-sponsor for the House version
