🚨Instead of trying to end the shutdown, House Republicans are working to pass a dangerous gun bill that would override state gun safety laws on who can carry hidden, loaded guns in public. We must stop them from making it easier for people with dangerous histories, like violent criminals, to carry a concealed gun in states that wouldn’t otherwise let them.

“The harms to the District are immense. National Guard units are operating without lawful authority and without law enforcement training. They create confusion, sow fear, erode trust, inflame tensions, and harm the crucial relationship between police and communities they serve.”
Attorney General Brian Schwalb

Two children—just 8 and 10 years old—were shot and killed at a back-to-school mass at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis yesterday. Seventeen others, including 14 children, were wounded.

Back to school should never mean back to school shootings. This is the devastating reality of America’s gun violence crisis—and it will not end until lawmakers take meaningful action.

Text READY to 644-33 to join the millions of Americans demanding they do just that.

The vibes were unmatched at the “Just Be BBQ” 🔥 in Southwest DC! Our Moms Demand Action and Student Demand Action served so much positive energy focused on building a stronger, safer future for everyone. We were so happy to partner with Broccoli City, GOODProjects, VIP LLC, and Everytown for Gun Safety to help our community get ready for the back-to-school season.

We loved seeing so many families come together to celebrate and enjoy the day. It’s so important to have events like this where we can connect with one another and share valuable resources. We’re grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of a day focused on being fed, educated, well, safe, and free.

Four people were shot and killed and another was wounded last evening by a gunman wielding a Palmetto State Armory AR-15 “pistol” with an arm brace and a 30-round magazine as he stalked through an office building in Midtown Manhattan.

The shooter lived in Nevada and drove over 2,000 miles to New York before the shooting. As long as some states have weak gun safety laws, no one is immune to gun violence.

Assault weapons are designed to shoot as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time. Easy access to these weapons of war means that no one is safe—even in states with assault weapons bans on the books.

We shouldn’t be forced to accept this carnage as normal. It’s past time to reinstate a federal assault weapons ban: https://act.everytown.org/sign/gosafe-2025/

Officials say a man carrying a rifle killed four people at a New York City office tower. The shooting took place Monday afternoon at a midtown Manhattan office building that houses finance companies and the NFL headquarters.

Moms Demand Action volunteers aren’t just advocating for gun safety—they’re running for office and winning.

Take Sheri Williams, a former Moms Demand Action - IL chapter co-lead, who took what she learned in our Demand a Seat training program and turned it into action. Now, as a Township Trustee, she’s addressing the root causes of gun violence—like food insecurity and housing—through real policy change.

Sheri is one of hundreds of volunteers who’ve stepped up to lead their communities, and we’re here to help them do it.

Celebratory gunfire is no joke. Each year, innocent bystanders pay the price for this highly irresponsible and dangerous practice.

Remember, what goes up must come down. Say NO to celebratory gunfire this July 4th, and pass it on!
