It’s the guns! ~100 million more guns are in the hands of civilians since 2012 when 26 children/educators were hunted/killed by a gunman with an AR15. In 1990, only 1.2% of guns being produced were AR15s. Now, it’s 25%. Where there are more guns, there are more gun deaths!

ALT Tell Congress that federal funding is vital for domestic violence & sexual assault services. U.S. Capitol.
![Call 202-224-3121 and tell Congress: I’m calling from [program, town, and/or state] to urge [Representative or Senator name] to take immediate action to protect and support increased federal funding to serve victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. Federal grants from the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Centers for Disease Control are essential. Right now, we’re facing major problems with delays, grant terminations across the field, programmatic restructuring, loss of staff, delayed posting of NOFOs, and lack of communication that are causing serious uncertainty and alarm. We need reliable, stable, and timely federal funding to continue to provide safety, support, and services for people experiencing violence. Please ask [Representative or Senator name] to commit to protecting this critical funding and investing in lifesaving resources.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GsrrygJWAAAEcTR.jpg?name=orig)

"SNAP helps bridge the gap between their income and the rising costs of food and other basic necessities."
SNAP provides so much more than food for youth and their families; it helps kids grow up smarter, stronger, and healthier, and that means a smarter, stronger, and healthier nation. Read more: bit.ly/4k506TD

No baby should go hungry. An estimated 4.5 million children ages 0-4 participate in SNAP. Reductions in SNAP benefits would make it harder for families to provide the nourishment their children need to thrive. Tell Congress: #SNAPMatters!

Post & image from @WithoutViolence :
"Consent is more than a one-time “yes”—it’s a continuous conversation.
Remember the 4 C’s of consent:
💬 Clear
♻️ Continuous
🧠 Conscious
🚫 Coercion-free
Don’t assume. Don’t pressure. Ask, listen, and respect the answer—every time."

New Treasury analysis shows the 2017 tax law’s tilt to the top & high cost - $4.2T to extend the individual & estate tax provisions, with ~50% of the benefit going to the top 5% of households (incomes >$320k/year) and 30% to the top 1% (incomes >$743k/yr).

Chairman Smith may focus on small businesses @ tomorrow’s TCJA hearing. The emphasis should be on the need to extend premium tax credit enhancements, given that small business owners & self-employed workers made up 28% of ACA marketplace enrollees in 2022. home.treasury.gov/news/press…

Given the witness line-up, it looks like Chairman Smith is going to put a focus on the importance of the #Child Tax Credit at tomorrow’s first ’25 TCJA hearing. This is great to see!
And not a surprise given Smith’s championing last year on bill to help 16 million kids.

✨“Here’s to the lamp lighters. The joy fighters.
The risk takers. The changemakers.
To the people standing in the gap between what is, and what could be.
Those with the vision for the things we can’t yet see.
Two little words, that help make things new -
dream and, of course, dream’s friend: do.”✨
