Today’s Action: Keep the pressure on to save lives from gun violence
As the majority of the nation joins the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School community in Parkland, Florida in sorrow and outrage over the 17 lives lost to gun violence last week, Republicans in Congress have made their strategy clear: Wait us out.
They’ll claim “this isn’t the time” to talk about gun safety until the cameras have turned away from the tear-soaked faces of the grieving, the justifiable uproar has fallen from the front pages, and the pressure to act has gone away.
That’s why it’s up to us to make sure the pressure to save lives only intensifies.
That should be more than enough to keep us outraged for the long-term, and it is an absolute disgrace that Republicans have no answer but “thoughts and prayers.”
Then, put a weekly reminder on your calendar to call again next week and the next week and the week after that, and don’t stop calling until the United States finally enacts some common sense protection to keep our nation’s children from being gunned down regularly in their own schools.
