Our peaceful protest was because another preventable school shooting happened at Covenant School in Nashville & the People's House chose to ignore them and expel us instead! We must work tirelessly to protect our kids, communities, to end gun violence, and protect our democracy.

It’s so painful to listen to @GovBillLee ’s State of the State. He’s talking about cutting regulations for the environment, stripping funding from public schools for private vouchers and saying NOTHING of gun violence which is the #1 cause of death for our children in Tennessee!!

We must resist the attempts to normalize the loss of human life due to rampant & preventable gun violence. We need to prioritize the safety of people over the profits of mass produced deadly weapons. #prayingandfighting My thoughts on yesterday’s tragedy:

While our supporters of clergy marched and prayed over our Capitol to end gun violence, the @tnhousegop and their extremist supporters, the proud boys, threaten our democracy with their terrorism. This is what we are fighting against every single day and why we will never quit!

So angry and hurt by this shooting in Maine. Refusing to normalize this. Refusing to be desensitized to mass murders and political callousness. Refusing to lose hope that this is the way it will always be. #prayingandfighting

Thank God for justice rolling into the State House in spite of the abuse of power by the republican party @CSexton25 @tnhousegop . The People will not be silenced and signs demanding we “DO SOMETHING and PROTECT KIDS, NOT GUNS” are back! #Protect1A !

How many school shootings must there be before we protect kids, not guns?! Before we repeal permitless carry laws like the ones in Iowa & Tennessee? I pray for a speedy recovery of those injured at Perry High School & healing for the survivors.

Iowa school shooting: Sixth grader killed, 5 others injured at Perry High School

The Dallas County Sheriff's Office confirmed there is an active shooter investigation at Perry High School in Perry, Iowa.

Students, while walking out, are really standing up for us all & saying we deserve to have communities who are free from gun violence. They are standing up to ensure our state legislators do something about sensible gun reform, which can make our schools and communities safer!

There are some things that really infuriate me. Giving a $700 Million tax cut to corporations is one of those things. A horrible and perfect display of corporate greed governing the @tnhousegop . #ProfitsOverPeople ! We need to invest in education, healthcare, and our people!

Trayvon and I are both 29. We’re growing up together even though he is no longer physically here. It aches how many peers have become Ancestors due to violence and brutality against Black people. #blacklivesdomatter

The is the type of photo we may see of white youth, even white adults, who have killed people. Trayvon was killed, his killer free, and we seldom saw photos of this Black boy, full of promise and hope, enjoying space camp. Many of us are working to make the world better, Trayvon.

The #TNLeg just passed a law to pre-empt all 95 counties from passing Extreme Risk Protection Orders/Red Flag laws. The Cowardice of this legislature is despicable and dangerous! We just had a mass shooting in Memphis. Gun violence is the #1 killer of children in this state.

Today the Biden-Harris Administration introduced the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to end the gun violence epidemic that has engulfed our nation. We must do more to protect our families & communities. This is another great step in our fight as We Build This Movement!
