Today, we celebrate the liberation of Black people in America. For those who don’t know the history, Juneteenth commemorates the day in 1865 that the last formerly enslaved people found out they were free. Learn more here: s.si.edu/2YNBo24
In this critical moment in our country, it is important to remember that freedom was not granted by any one person. It was a hard-fought battle, won through uprisings, revolts, and many sacrifices.
The fight for freedom wasn’t over and done with in 1865 -- freedom and justice for all is still being fought in the streets today.
Juneteenth is a day to honor Black freedom, resistance, and liberation. Observe, celebrate, and honor that by supporting the Black community however you can. You can find a collection of nationwide Juneteenth events hosted by @Mvmnt4BlkLives here: bit.ly/30WItjm
Remember, today and everyday, Black Lives Matter. #JUNETEENTH2020 #HappyJuneteenth #JuneteenthDay

What’s a #SwingState, and why does it matter? Every vote matters, no matter where you are. But thanks to the electoral college, a few states are critical to win. These swing states can push a candidate over the electoral finish line—and they’re the ones that flip between both parties. 🗳️
In recent years, swing states have been decided by tight margins. Young people hold the key to making a difference in these races. We saw this in 2020 when #Trump lost some of these states by as little as 10,000 votes. #SwingTheVote
In places like Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, the difference between winning and losing came down to youth turnout. This year will be no different. We can't leave any voter uncontacted or any door unknocked.

The Supreme Court’s decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen is dangerous and deadly.

The unfairly nominated, blatantly partisan justices put the Second Amendment over our lives.

The blood of the American people who die from needless gun violence will be on their corrupt hands.
This ruling is not about responsible gun ownership, it’s about universal gun ownership. It enriches the gun lobby that paid to confirm conservative justices.

This is blatant corruption.
The Supreme Court is stripping the ability of states to enact policies that are *proven* to save lives. This will lead to the proliferation of guns in every major U.S. city at a time when we need the complete opposite.

It’s been 3 years since the March For Our Lives. Today, we planned on posting a different message, one of celebration and gratitude, but 9 mass shootings in the past 7 days are painful reminders that we don’t have the luxury to celebrate progress. (thread)
Our country is in a constant cycle of violence and apathy, and it’s hard to watch more communities grieve when all we wanted 3 years ago, and all we want today, is for people to live free from gun violence.
We mourn the lives stolen in Boulder, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Chicago, and every city across America, and share the sorrow of those who carry a new title: survivor.

A people-powered movement needs mutual aid! 👏

March For Our Lives is on a journey to truly support and center the communities most impacted by gun violence.

Shifting resources through mutual aid is one way of doing that. aid and alliance from March...
BIPOC communities have been affected by gun violence the most and have organized to fight it the longest. But they have not received equal resources or national support. We can’t end the epidemic of gun violence if these communities are left behind.
We just launched a national mutual aid & grants program to support BIPOC communities facing everyday gun violence and de-center whiteness in the GVP space. This is about rising up in solidarity and acknowledging the privilege our movement was built upon.
