This is a senseless tragedy. #CalebReed was a bright light who fought to make the world we live in better. #GunViolence is a crisis that is terrorizing and traumatizing communities across our country.

#CalebReed was a 17y/o Freedom Fighter who wanted #CopsOutCPS . The movement just lost him to #GunViolence this morning. This tragedy is traumatizing & heartbreaking. We can honor him by continuing the call to end GV & get students resources for healing. RIP #PoliceFreeSchools

NEW POLL: 84% of voters, including 77% of Republicans, support a background check on all gun sales. 48% support closing the Charleston loophole. Voters are more likely to trust Democrats than Republicans on gun policy.

Celebratory gunfire is no joke. Thanks @MomsDemand for the warning each year about celebratory gunfire. Innocent bystanders pay the price for this highly irresponsible and dangerous practice. Remember, what goes up must come down. Say NO to celebratory gunfire, and pass it on!

To think that Sen. @BillCassidy , who is an MD, can downplay Louisiana's maternal mortality rate because a third of the state's population is African American reinforces the underlying biases among medical professionals that might interfere with delivering the best maternal care.
