Since the 2019 El Paso Mass shooting, there have been nearly 2,539 mass shootings across the United States.

When is enough enough?

Today — on the fourth anniversary of the mass shooting in El Paso — we're going to talk about gun violence and where we are as a country: 🧵 The Gun Violence Archive (@GunDeaths), a non-profit group established in 2013 to monitor gun-related violence, defines a mass shooting as an incident with at least four people shot, excluding the shooter.

So far in 2023, the US has seen an average of two mass shootings daily.

Today, Voto Latino will endorse Vice President @JoeBiden for President of the United States.

This is our first presidential endorsement in our history. This is not one we take lightly. It comes at a time when the Trump administration continues to attack the Latinx community. For the last 3 1/2 years, Trump has consistently shown his disdain for Latinx & other communities of color.

We will not forget how he enforced cruel policies against our immigrant communities, by caging children, separating families and jeopardizing the lives of DACA recipients.

Hey citizen gente! 👋🏽 Here’s some ways you could be an ally ahead of the #ICEraids. See an ICE checkpoint? You can ask them why they are stopping and searching cars. You can also ask where they’re taking people. Now is not the time to be silent.

Your monthly reminder that this President is stoking anti immigrant hate when the FACTS show that crime has plummeted even as our undocumented population has grown. (Thread) Receipts.
