ICYMI - here’s the video of @jrpsaki speaking about my hero, Jim Brady during today’s briefing. Honored to be carrying on his legacy w/ @bradybuzz. #EndGunViolence Thread 👇🏼
It was 21 years ago today that Pres. @BillClinton dedicated the @WhiteHouse Press Room for Jim — who honored his country both as a Press Secretary and as an advocate for gun violence prevention.
Even after being shot and nearly killed, Jim was relentless in his quest to save others from gun violence. He and Sarah wouldn’t stop until action was taken.
It took 6 votes and 7 years, but thanks to Jim & Sarah, in 1993, Pres. @BillClinton signed the #BradyBill into law creating our nation’s background check system for gun sales.
Yesterday, I joined fellow gun violence prevention advocates in meeting with senior staff of the Biden-Harris Admin to discuss ways to make our communities safer from gun violence. I look forward to working with @POTUS & @VP to carry on Jim’s legacy. #TakeActionNotSides
