I’ve been offline much of this week as I isolate with my young daughter who tested positive for COVID. She is recovering, and I tested negative, but it still upended our home and I’m eager to return to “pandemic normal.” It drove home for me how irresponsible and dangerous it is that our #moleg continues to meet in small spaces with no mask requirement. The supermajority’s leadership know the voices they don’t want to hear will prioritize safety of others and stay away.

Inspired by @mamamorinny to take 50 election actions in 50 days for @MomsDemand Gun Sense Candidates! This is my accountability thread. Backtracking to 50 Days to #ElectionDay (9/14)- stuffing envelopes for my state Senator @LaurenArthurMO! #MomsAreEverywhere #moleg 49 Days ‘til #ElectionDay - almost bedtime and my eyes are tired, but training to send texts for Team Biden-Harris! @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @TeamJoe #MomsAreEverywhere

What the ‘black-on-black crime’ fallacy misses about race and gun deaths #moleg ⁦@MomsDemand⁩ #mogov #Missouri washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/07… I’ve heard the racist “what about black on black crime” fallacy so often from people who oppose stronger gun violence prevention laws. Instead we see the current rush in Missouri for laws that are advertised as “tough on crime” but don’t address the real issue.

“Before the session began, Parson met with the mayors of St. Louis and Kansas City to discuss efforts to fight violent crime.

Much of that fell by the wayside in the Republican-led House and Senate.”

#moleg ⁦@MomsDemand⁩ stltoday.com/news/local/gov… Before the pandemic, Missouri already faced a public health crisis of gun violence, yet too many #moleg lawmakers deny the problem or make excuses. Time to send more @MomsDemand gun sense lawmakers to Jefferson City. Three things you can do right now to help:

The very good news out of this overall awful session is this: for the 3rd straight year, Missouri volunteers for @MomsDemand and other key stakeholders again defeated dangerous gun bills like #HB575 #moleg I am so proud to volunteer with @MomsDemand and work with our many Missouri volunteers from all over the state. We not only beat back bad gun bills, but took some important first steps in passing a proactive gun reform bill this year. #moleg
