“We’re talking about a state legislature that for over a decade now has refused to take up any life-saving, sensible gun violence prevention policies, and is blaming local leaders when they’ve tied their hands to a point where they’re unable to act effectively.” www.thetrace.org/2025/12/milw...

This week at the Capitol in Madison, extremist Republican legislators introduced several bills that are straight from the playbook of the corporate gun industry. Contact your legislators now and ask them to oppose these bills! act.waveedfund.org/a/standagain...

About 1 person dies by suicide in the U.S. every 11 minutes. Every one of these deaths is preventable.

Gun violence is a tragedy. Always. In the past two weeks we've seen it wreak havoc on elementary students, teens, and a college campus. Every day across our country, people are shot in events that barely make the news. Our hearts break for all those impacted. We will never stop working for change.

Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We must act. #Action #EndGunViolence #WaveEdFund Sister Helen Prejean

Gun violence doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When people are denied access to affordable healthcare, the risk of violence grows. Prevention starts with equity. Congress must not make this problem worse. #EndGunViolence #HealthEquity #RootCauses

Remind state lawmakers that Wisconsinites have made it clear over and over: we don't want guns anywhere near our schools. secure.everyaction.com/N2Mokw1yTker...

Let's be honest: the news lately has been hard to stomach. We know that in this moment, it's more important than ever to stand together in community. Take one minute to tell us about yourself, and invite your friends to share what's important to them. secure.everyaction.com/BGv9tlwC8kaI...

Maya Angelou with some determination. We can do this.

Good God. "Chief Barnes said that officers went to the school after a second grade student called 911 just before 11 a.m. to report a shooting." A second grade student. Our 2nd graders are doing more to save lives than our Republican elected officials, and I'm so angry that that's the truth.
