(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

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

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…
