Brady | United Against Gun Violence
We are uniting Americans from coast to coast, red and blue and every color, to end gun violence. Led by @KrisBrown.bradyunited.org.
- 🚨 Earlier today, the House passed a funding bill that includes $25M for gun violence research, $30M for suicide prevention, and gives Congress 2 weeks to reach a deal on changes to rein in ICE's unchecked violence before DHS funding is approved. There's more work to be done, but this is a WIN.
- Today is the first day of Black History Month — a time to honor the contributions and reflect on the experiences of Black individuals and communities in the U.S., including those impacted by gun violence and who have fought to end its devastating impact on Black communities.
- Last weekend in Minneapolis, another killing was captured on camera. The video spread quickly. For many people, moments like this are shocking — and then they pass. But for survivors of gun violence, there is no moving on. https://bit.ly/45JABlT
- As Brady's Josh Scharff tells @thetrace.org - with current ATF resources, many gun dealers go a decade+ without federal oversight. And under Pres. Trump, the agency has experienced and been threatened with cuts to resources, regulations, and staffing, which, in turn, threatens public safety.
- This is a big WIN and a direct result of advocacy and public outrage. There's still more work to be done to ensure ICE accountability and prevent more shootings, but lawmakers have heard your calls and emails and aren't backing down!
