Back to school should never mean back to school shootings. This is the devastating reality of America’s gun violence crisis—and it will not end until lawmakers take meaningful action.
Text READY to 644-33 to join us in demanding they do just that.

Sen. Strom Thurmond voted against the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, AND supported Jim Crow laws.
Thurmond’s record for longest floor speech (in protest of the Civil Rights Act, no less!) was just broken by a Black man, my good friend Cory Booker.
That’s America.

Please, call your reps and AGs to demand they let all children learn in public schools. The end goal is to delete all special education services. All accommodations.

If you are born in the U.S., you are a U.S. citizen. Period.
The 14th Amendment clearly says so. The Supreme Court has affirmed it for more than 125 years.
That's why I'm suing Pres. Trump to block his unconstitutional executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship.

NEW: We just released our 2025 Gun Law Rankings and the data is clear—fewer people are killed with guns in states with stronger gun laws. In fact, states with the weakest gun safety laws have a gun violence rate 2.5 times higher than states with the strongest laws.
