Gun violence doesn’t belong here. It has taken too many from us already and we are tired of feeling unsafe in our own community. Yet, someone has to call this crap out! So as long as we have breath in our bodies, we will be BRAVE. #EndGunViolence #Chicago #YouthAdvocacy

TODAY: Activists are on the ground in #Illinois to defend the #AssaultWeaponsBan that is being threatened by pro-gun groups.
This law was pioneered by survivors and community members who know firsthand the tragic effects of gun violence. WE NEED to keep Illinois safe
