(1/7) Meet #GenerationLockdown: the made-in-America student generation begging to survive the school day. Join us on March 24th in DC alongside students, survivors, victims & educators impacted by school shootings as we demand Congress uphold our right to education, unthreatened.
(2/7) Only in America will the same student survive a mass shooting in elementary school and again in college. Since Columbine occurred in 1999, nearly 350,000 students have experienced gun violence in school in America. Schools should be safe spaces, not warzones.
(3/7) We’re demanding the Senate vote on S.25, the federal assault weapons ban, ASAP. Our survival in school depends on it. You can find us Friday, March 24 @ 11 am at Union Square in Washington, D.C
(4/7) We’ll be joined by survivors, student advocates, parents, educators- a coalition of GVP organizations (@bradybuzz, @changetheref, @Junior_NAA, @livesrobbed, @AMarch4OurLives , @march_fourth_ @Team_Enough) all rallying around this singular mission of banning assault weapons
(5/7) Ready to rally? All we ask is for you to wear your school / university swag to the rally & register via this link:

eventbrite.com/e/generation-l…
(6/7) Are you a reporter interested in speaking to any of our speakers or attending the rally? Please reach out to media@wemarchfourth.org, and they’ll help you get set up
(7/7) We can’t allow another generation to grow up in the shadow of lockdown drills and gun violence. The time to federally ban assault weapons is now. See you on 3/24

We must keep the House to pass strong federal gun laws during next Congress. We endorsed 183 House incumbents who voted for Ethan's Law to #KeepKidsSafe from unsecured guns, assault weapons ban, & the universal background check legislation during this Congress. #VoteGunSafety2022 Image
All 183 gun safety champions have passed more gun laws in the 117th House of Representatives than any others in decades. newtownactionalliance.org/houseofreprese…
Our only gun safety champion from Alabama is @RepTerriSewell, a Democrat from District 7. #VoteGunSafety2022 #EndGunViolence Image

Since the Oxford High School shooting on 11/30, 26 @HouseDemocrats have cosponsored HR748/Ethan's Law to require gun owners to safely store their guns when kids are around. We need the remaining 52 Dems to cosponsor the bill & pass this crucial gun safety bill to #KeepKidsSafe.
We encourage @RepOHalleran from Arizona 1st and @RepGregStanton Arizona 9th to cosponsor HR748/Ethan's Law to require gun owners to safely store their guns to #KeepKidsSafe in Arizona & beyond. congress.gov/bill/117th-con… @AZforGunSafety #EndGunViolence

1. Today, the @POTUS, VP @KamalaHarris, & Attorney General Merrick Garland will be in the Rose Garden @ 11:45AM ET to deliver remarks on the initial set of executive actions to #EndGunViolence & the nomination of @davidchipman as the ATF Director. Tune in: whitehouse.gov/live/
2. Review @POTUS @JoeBiden’s initial actions to #EndGunViolence. He has been dedicated to addressing our country’s epidemic of gun violence throughout his entire career. He has taken on & beaten the NRA twice, & he believes we can do it again together. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
3. Even when they don’t make the headlines, senseless gun tragedies take lives every day & leave lasting trauma in communities, especially communities of color. @POTUS is making an investment in community violence Intervention programs to #EndGunViolence. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

1. Watch Day 3 of the NRA Bankruptcy Trial starting at 11:30AM ET. Yesterday, it was revealed Wayne Lapierre's assistant used $40,000 of NRA $ to pay for her son's wedding & other expenses. She was required to pay it back but she still works for Lapierre.

2. @maddow explains why @NewYorkStateAG filed a lawsuit to #DissolveTheNRA. The NRA allowed Wayne Lapierre and others to use its funds illegally and inappropriately for lavish personal expenses.
3. Wayne Lapierre just swore in. He is being questioned. Is anyone confident that he will tell the truth? Watch. txnb.uscourts.gov/sites/txnb/fil…

At 11:30AM EDT, watch the NRA’s six-day bankruptcy trial where NRA executives including Wayne Lapierre will be examined and cross-examined. Find Judge Hale’s WebEX link here: txnb.uscourts.gov/judges-info/he… #DissolveTheNRA Image
2. History: On 8/6/20, the @NewYorkStateAG Tish James officially filed a lawsuit to #DissolvetheNRA after investigating the organization since Feb 2019 & found the senior leadership had illegally used the NRA's charitable finances for personal use. marieclaire.com/politics/a3405…
3. The NRA filed for bankruptcy on 1/15/21 & made an announcement that it would leave New York State to reincorporate in Texas to evade accountability and the @NewYorkStateAG office's oversight. cnn.com/2021/01/15/bus… #DissolveTheNRA

1/ President @JoeBiden beat the NRA & passed the Assault Weapons Ban & the Brady bill in 1994. After the Sandy Hook tragedy, he led the @WhiteHouse task force to #EndGunViolence & met with the victims' families & gun violence prevention groups. #TheTimeIsNow
2/ After the Sandy Hook tragedy, @BarackObama asked @JoeBiden to lead the @WhiteHouse task force to #EndGunViolence because there was no one better equipped to tackle this life or death issue. He knows what needs to be done & he should do it. #TheTimeIsNow nytimes.com/2013/01/15/us/…
3/ On January 4, 2016, @BarackObama signed an array of executive actions to reduce gun violence. While @POTUS strategizes on how to pass legislation, he can pass executive actions that could save many lives. obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-offi… #TheTimeIsNow #EndGunViolence
