Guns are the leading killer of kids and teens in this country, and many are killed in incidents of domestic violence. During Domestic Violence Awareness Month (#DVAM) we’re sounding the alarm on easy access to guns, which makes domestic violence even deadlier. buff.ly/efH6GIh

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month — a time to call attention to America’s uniquely lethal domestic gun violence crisis. Domestic violence and gun violence are deeply interconnected, impacting millions of women, families, and communities.

Our volunteers are offering resources and support to students and the community after gunfire struck an elementary school bus in Kansas City, Kansas. “No child, no bus driver, no community members should ever experience the terror of gun violence like that,” said volunteer leader David Carttar.

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS once again freezes the lower federal courts’ rulings in the Missouri redistricting case—and affirms that, as the Missouri Supreme Court held earlier this month, Missouri will use the 2022 map in the November elections. There were no public dissents.

WATCH: The last word on which map Missourians will use in November now rests with SCOTUS. Should justices reinstate the Trump-backed gerrymander, more than 1.4 million people would be shifted into new districts. Here's how one street holds an entire country's unfinished argument about who counts.

The SCOTUS decision striking down the Hawaiian people’s ability to say where a person may carry hidden, loaded guns is—as Justice Brown Jackson wrote—protecting guns. To the court’s extremists private property rights and Hawaiian traditions are nothing compared with the gun lobby’s right to profit.

20 Missouri Senate Republicans voted against fully funding our public schools. The GOP budget leaves MO’s public schools underfunded by over $190 million. It’s time to pivot from holding up signs to knocking doors. This ONLY changes when we elect better people at the state level.
