Honored to be among the speakers at today’s #MarchForOurLives in LR with @MomsDemand. We’ve known how to save lives for 25 years, but, inexplicably, we’ve failed to act. Now more kids in America die by gun violence than any other cause. Enough. It’s time to act. #DontLookAway pic.twitter.com/kjFFgEBdhw

Good turnout in Little Rock and huge crowds elsewhere for people demonstrating on behalf of gun safety laws.
Politicians to gun lobbyists and fetishists (all Arkansas Republican politicians, in other words) will be unmoved. Happily, Democrats represented in Arkansas.
Today, we marched for our lives.Tens of thousands are united across the U.S. at rallies to end gun violence.
With recent shootings in Texas and New York – and four 2022 mass shootings here in Arkansas – I joined the #MarchForOurLives in Little Rock. pic.twitter.com/uFPyp8SqDo
