Every day, 18 veterans die by suicide — 13 of them by firearm.
Our nation’s heroes deserve better. Access to mental health care, secure firearm storage, and community support can save lives. 💙🇺🇸
Let’s honor their service by protecting their future.

🎉 Congratulations, Maine! 🎉
Voters have approved a Red Flag Law, giving families and law enforcement a vital tool to help save lives.

Indiana also has a Red Flag Law — but it’s limited to law enforcement. Maine’s new law goes further by empowering families to act when they see warning signs.

When maps are unfair, communities lose their voice — and lawmakers stop reflecting real needs.
Fair maps mean leaders who listen and act on what Hoosiers want: safer communities and an end to gun violence.

When families face hunger from SNAP cuts and shutdowns, the risk of violence grows.
Food security is gun violence prevention.
Tell Congress: restore SNAP and protect families.

Proud to stand with the students! Enough is enough. Thoughts and prayers aren’t solving the crisis of gun violence and it’s way past time for our legislators to act.

💜 September is Suicide Prevention Month.
In Indiana (2018–2023), suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among youth ages 10–14 and 20-24, and the 10th leading cause of death overall. Firearms were used in 58% of suicides among youth and young adults ages 10–24.
