Every day a child is injured or killed by a gun.

We talk about peanut allergies and dogs/cats - normalize gun safety discussions as well - ask if firearms are securely stored.

Holiday dinner debates ahead? 🍽️

Access to a gun makes it 5× more likely an abusive partner will kill his victim — and 840 women every year are killed. 💔
Gaps in background checks and the Charleston loophole put lives at risk. shorturl.at/VXCF1

Gun suicide claims the lives of ~26,000 people in USA every year, but there is hope. One of the most effective interventions for someone in crisis is disrupting their access to a gun.

Different century, same injustice.

In the 1800s, Irish immigrants were profiled as criminals, diseased, & “morally deficient.” Leading to Irish neighborhoods being over-policed.

Now the Supreme Court says ICE can stop people based on race, language, or job.
