1/ Last week, after @JoeBiden said he'll focus on infrastructure rather than gun violence prevention as his next legislative priority, over 87 gun violence prevention organizations came together urging @POTUS to prioritize gun reform & Congress to work w/ him on it #TheTimeIsNow

@JoeBiden @POTUS 2/ We argued that @POTUS inherited a ⬆️ gun violence crisis & the country needed his leadership to save lives *now*

In fact, since his press conference on Thursday, we've experienced:

- 470 incidents of gun violence
- 158 gun deaths (excluding suicides)
- 350 gun injuries

@JoeBiden @POTUS 3/ A new poll finds majority want @JoeBiden to prioritize saving lives lost to gun violence

@ABCNews/Ispos poll:

- 57% disapprove of Biden's handling of the issue

- 66% say enacting new laws to reduce gun violence more important than protecting right to own lots of guns

@JoeBiden @POTUS 4/ @JoeBiden has a history of getting big things done on gun violence reduction & we've seen what he and his @whitehouse team can do when they prioritize an issue (see: Covid relief bill)

We deserve the same kind of leadership on gun violence prevention

Our lives depend on it.
