I’ve said this before but I’m going to say it again for the record

If I die from gun violence I want my photo published, there will be those that say you are politicizing tragedy—

They are wrong, not doing anything to stop it this violence is politicizing tragedy. #MyLastShot
In the event I am killed, organize, mobilize and get the Peace Plan passed and put my body on the NRAs doorstep in Fairfax, VA
If you want your photo published if you die from gun violence tweet about it so it’s on the record with #MyLastShot

I cried reading this.

The joy and excitement of moving into Harvard today was stolen from
my classmate Ismail B. Ajjawi.

When they arrived in the us and after examination of their social media— was deported for the political beliefs of friends they followed on social media.
It’s young and bright immigrants like Ismail that helped found the United States itself

Turning someone with so much potential to do good not only for the United States but the world because of their religion or political beliefs of those they follow is inherently anti-American.
I couldn’t add away because character limits 😠

This is why it’s so important that we get ERPO in every state.

“Wintemute and his colleagues could find no evidence that any of the 21 people whose guns had been seized had subsequently made good on their threats or otherwise committed an act of fatal violence”
Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO) are ways that people that are a danger to themselves or someone else can be disarmed through due process.

They could have prevented Parkland and are currently preventing other shootings in the 17 states and DC where they have been created
They have some bipartisan support in Congress and the Senate with Republicans like @marcorubio and others that support it but we need to pass ERPO in every state with the federal government providing funding for the states that have passed ERPO.

Only creating new gun laws alone will not work.

We need to have a massive cultural change where peace is valued more than violence, where love is valued more than hate and dead children are valued more than guns.
We need major investment in marginalized communities that have been ravished by injustice for centuries

From the mountains of West Virginia where communities face massive environmental injustice to the communities redlined in the 30s and 40s resulting in major economic injustice
The communities that have faced the most injustice have the highest rate of gun homicide and suicide.

To address violence and create peace we must attack it at its source— injustice

With new laws, cultural change and voting in leaders that know the true history of the US

Guys in my mentions arguing that #NotAllMen are the perpetrators of #GunViolence, sorry, but you are.
It is a predominantly male crime and you kill each other most often.
Don't fight me on the stats, do something to stop the violence.
lawcenter.giffords.org/facts/gun-viol…
Guns are used in more than 70% of all homicides.
For every person killed in a gun homicide, six more are injured in a gun assault.
Gun homicides are on the rise, up 30% from 2014 to 2017.
Access to a gun doubles the risk of homicide.
lawcenter.giffords.org/facts/gun-viol…
On average, fewer people die from gun violence in states with strong gun laws and more people die in states with weak gun laws.

The US gun homicide rate is 25 times that of other high-income countries

I've been hearing a lot of resignation in people's voices and tweets, in the face of the latest tragedy at #PowaySynagogueShooting. People are giving up hope that we can ever bend the curve on our #gunviolence epidemic.

--This thread is dedicated to destroying that despair.—
6 years ago, we watched those babies walk out of #SandyHook - & were torn apart, as a nation, by the memory of those who didn't make it.

Many of us had been told that we "couldn't" talk about guns.

But after Sandy Hook, many of us said "no more; we will not be silent."
A few bravely started talking and writing about why #gunviolence was a #publichealth issue. Those few, turned into a wave. The groundwork was slowly laid.

Over the past 2 days, hundreds of doctors have shared heartbreaking accounts of how #gunviolence is a #publichealth issue. These are the stories of #docs4gunsense ... May their words make a difference.

The result of a bullet ricocheting inside the skull and destroying the brain on CT scan. The worst trauma I have seen. GUNS ARE A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE – Gen Geller MD, NY #docs4gunsense @drgenngeller
The damage a bullet does to a 1 year old brain as it ricochets back and for. The guilt the family feels. The sadness we all feel.
