One week ago, Melissa Hortman and her husband were taken from us in a horrific act of political violence. Political violence is never justified. Armed extremism is a threat to democracy. Honor Melissa by rejecting division—and choosing courage.

Rhode Island must now rise to meet this moment with the strongest possible assault weapons ban—no loopholes, no exceptions. Anything less is a betrayal of every family shattered by mass shootings and everyday gun violence. RICAGV can’t accept the weakest AWB in the country and neither can we.

Peace be upon us.

Today we observe and celebrate Juneteenth, the commemoration of the end of slavery in the United States. Today we celebrate freedom and recommit to the ongoing pursuit of racial justice and equality.

The Senate tax bill cuts Medicaid, clean energy, rural hospitals while extending the tax cuts for billionaires/corporations, eliminating taxes on silencers/short-barreled shotguns/rifles & deregulates these weapons of war to arm mass murderers & assassins. @newtownaction.org #StopMagaMurderBill

8-month-old Anderson Garcia Cabrera Jr. was shot and killed in a mass shooting at a local festival. The Garcias said Sunday night “was meant to be a joyful Father’s Day celebration at the West Fest Carnival” but instead it “became the most heartbreaking night of our lives.”

The Senate’s new tax bill includes a deadly surprise: it would DEREGULATE silencers, short-barreled rifles & shotguns — the very weapons favored by mass shooters. Email your Senators NOW: secure.everyaction.com/TXEKOQWzv0yq... #StopTheMurderTaxBill #EndGunViolence
