My Every Day

We had a busy weekend and I’m just now getting the chance to sit down and look through all the wonderful photos from Wear Orange on Friday night. Wonderful speakers, great crowds, and sunshine ☀️ Inspirational messages of hope-filled resolve. So grateful to these amazing folks I serve with who care enough to fight for a world free from gun violence. Thank you to everyone who showed up Friday night. Maybe I’m an idealist, but I believe that this work matters. That showing up, over and over, until we get it right MATTERS. Little by little, one law, one election, one phone call, one door knock at a time, we WILL get this right.

Want to join us? Text READY to 644-33. @momsdemand @everytown #gunviolenceawareness #gunviolenceprevention #momsareeverywhere #wearorange #keepgoing #hopeisadiscipline #gunsensevoter #electionsmatter

A wonderful night at the @alexandriavadems Rock the Blue Dinner tonight with some of my @momsdemand action squad and tons of my fellow Alexandrians. It was a room full of my favorite kind of people: folks who care about our world and believe it is their responsibility to get involved in making the world a better place. People who truly believe in serving their communities. Plus we all looked so pretty in our blue 💙💙💙

Especially loved talking to and hearing from our keynote speaker Representative Jamie Raskin @repraskin Representative Raskin and I actually worked together YEARS ago when we were both in our 20s. In 1989-1990, we both worked for a time for Rev.Jesse Jackson and the National Rainbow Coalition. He was general counsel and I was an addiction counselor for Rev.Jackson’s “Down with Dope, Up with Hope” campaign. I wish I had pictures of those days, but this was before cell phones! Anyway, Representative Raskin brought down the house tonight with his inspirational words. It was a privilege to have a brilliant constitutional law professor talk about issues our lawmakers are wrestling with currently, including gun violence and the debt ceiling. He is definitely a national treasure and I’m fired up to keep working to elect more folks like him. Thank you to all the organizers for a great night! #rocktheblue #voteblue #actjustlylovemercywalkhumbly #savedemocracy #gunviolenceprevention #keepgoing #momsareeverywhere
