Three weeks since Jabari Peoples was shot and killed by a Homewood (AL) officer, his family still has no answers. An independent autopsy shows he was shot in the back. We are demanding the release of the bodycam footage so his family can see how their 18-yo child was killed.

Three deaths in two weeks. All involving Baltimore police. All tied to mental health crises. Protesters are asking: Why are armed officers the first responders to people in crisis? Black lives in crisis deserve care. https://t.co/7ZKU5kIX7j

Dominic Bradford went to a Chicago-area store — and left permanently disfigured after a Robbins police officer tased him in the face. Four surgeries later, he may never be able to see out of his right eye, and is fighting back the only way left: through the courts. pic.twitter.com/40AIKIGhnz

When hate comes armed, it can be deadly. This #WearOrange Weekend, we’re calling attention to the deadly intersection of racism, white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, and gun violence in America.

Since 2006, veterans have died by suicide nearly 20 times more often than soldiers have been killed in war operations. These suicides overwhelmingly involve guns.

This is a national crisis. Lawmakers must come together, support our veterans, and take real action to prevent these…

Gun violence has taken more lives than car crashes in recent years. And while we made cars safer with seatbelts, airbags, and laws — commonsense gun laws get stuck in political gridlock, despite overwhelming support. It’s time we treat gun violence like the public health crisis it is—and act to save lives.

House GOP gave gun CEOs a $1.5B tax break instead of protecting families. Silencers make it harder for law enforcement to find the shooter—that’s why they oppose them. For a party claiming to ‘back the blue,’ Republicans just made cops’ jobs harder. https://t.co/wnME0lPsWl

Yep, I’m going to “politicize” the FSU shooting because gun violence is political. The reason America has a 26 times higher gun homicide rate than any peer nation is because politicians care more about pandering to gun lobbyists than protecting their constituents.
