Today, thousands of hikers, bikers, rowers, horseback riders, trail clubs, federal and local agencies, and businesses come together in partnership to advocate for, maintain, and clean up public lands and trails. Happy #NationalTrailsDay! — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud to have a staff who work so hard to help combat the issues that are affecting my district. They #WearOrange because they know what’s at stake. https://t.co/iJlY4ySHIg — PolitiTweet.org

It was a pleasure to get together with my Congressional Youth Cabinet to discuss the gun violence epidemic affecting our country. Young people are at the center of these tragedies, so it is important to listen to what they have to say. https://t.co/Bs8rbronM8 — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

Today I #WearOrange because we must continue to bring awareness to the epidemic that is gun violence in the United States. Every day we are losing people to senseless tragedy and we must continue to fight to end it. https://t.co/y2h18R5hV7 — PolitiTweet.org

Every year, talented young artists from all over Illinois’ Second Congressional District participate in the Congressional Art Competition, and this year I was once again in awe of the artwork submitted. Congratulations to those who placed and to every student who participated. https://t.co/WTP4vXrl9t — PolitiTweet.org

Each June we show support for those living with dementia as part of Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. We must continue to raise awareness about the disease and show support for the million of people worldwide living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. #ENDALZ — PolitiTweet.org

STARTING NOW ⬇️ @HouseJudiciary is marking up the Protecting Our Kids Act, which includes my Prevent Gun Trafficking Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #PrideMonth! While we take this month to celebrate, we must also continue the everyday fight for equal human rights for all. I will continue working in Congress to ensure that communities are protected. https://t.co/BoD18uFw2j — PolitiTweet.org

We're going to stand up and take action against #gunviolence. This Friday, join @SenatorDurbin, @SenDuckworth and I in wearing orange to honor victims and survivors of gun violence. https://t.co/dylnz1NyOC — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

This week, my Prevent Gun Trafficking Act will go through @HouseJudiciary committee markup and move one step closer to becoming law. We're going to stop the illegal flow of guns into our communities and save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

This #MemorialDay, we honor those who gave their lives to protect our freedom. Thank you to all our service members, veterans, military families and fallen soldiers for their sacrifice. https://t.co/nyVXvIdFpM — PolitiTweet.org

Today @davidcicilline, @RepJohnLarson & I are leading 131 Members of Congress in calling on House leadership to immediately bring pending gun violence legislation to the floor for a vote. Too many have died. We have solutions. It is time to act. https://t.co/7mS9bO5fau — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

Gun violence leaves behind an incalculable number of victims. My heart is broken for these children. Survivors, loved ones & the broader community will need help navigating this trauma for many years to come. We must ensure consistent access to mental health care for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

The majority of Americans want common sense #GunViolencePrevention laws in place because THESE LAWS WORK. Any suggestion otherwise is an untrue excuse. https://t.co/LeGcoOZVEl — PolitiTweet.org

This is great news! Extended access to postpartum care will save lives. That's why I fought to include this policy in the #AmericanRescuePlan, and why I will keep fighting to make this coverage mandatory in every single state through my #MOMMAs Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

We are not hopeless. We have legislation ready to move forward to stop this senseless gun violence and save lives in every community across the United States. I’m ready to get this done. Will you join me? #StopGunViolence — PolitiTweet.org

There is no one solution to stop gun violence. There are many: 🔐requiring safe storage of firearms ☎️making gun owners report lost or stolen firearms within 48 hours 🚫keeping guns from high-risk individuals 🗃️requiring background checks for gun shows & online marketplaces — PolitiTweet.org

La violencia armada es la principal causa de muerte entre los niños. En 2020, 4,357 niños fueron matados a tiros. Las estadísticas de violencia armada están subiendo en todo el país. Yo defenderé a los niños de los Estados Unidos. https://t.co/81mdblftPV — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

Millions of Americans are living with mental health issues but do not shoot people. In fact, people with mental health issues are more likely to be a victim of violence than to perpetrate it. We need to pass gun violence prevention legislation to stop this madness. — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

This is the most tired argument out there, @GovAbbott. More than half the guns used in crimes in Chicago are trafficked in from other states with lax gun laws. That's why I'm working to stop gun trafficking at the federal level. — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

Mass shootings are increasing, but the majority of children killed by guns are shot in smaller day-to-day incidents. I've been working on this issue since coming to Congress in 2013. We've made dreadfully little progress. It's time to pass #GunViolencePrevention legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

Parkland, Tops, Uvalde. Todos tenían seguridad o policía. No detuvo al tirador. Armar a los maestros y poner más policías en las escuelas no es la respuesta. Necesitamos una legislación para la prevención de #gunviolence. — PolitiTweet.org

Robin Kelly @RepRobinKelly

I am fed up. We WILL stand up for #GunViolencePrevention. This is the leading cause of death among children and teens. I won't wait for a new Congress to move forward on gun violence prevention legislation. I'm urging my colleagues to act NOW. https://t.co/JHe4NZ7Ts3 — PolitiTweet.org

@ixsermorena @RepBobbyRush @RepMarieNewman @RepChuyGarcia @RepMikeQuigley @SeanCasten Gun violence prevention is one of my top priorities. We can't let this go on! — PolitiTweet.org

Today some parents in #Uvalde Texas will experience the worst day of their lives - panicked, rushing to pick up their child from school, but learning their child will never come home. Too many parents know this pain. It's despicable. We can't go on like this. — PolitiTweet.org

Reminder: 192 House Republicans voted against solving the baby formula issue and ALL voted against lowering gas prices by holding Big Oil companies accountable. When times get tough the @GOP is quick to speak, but when it’s time to deliver for the people, they don’t step up. — PolitiTweet.org

Every year on this date we celebrate the incredible life of Harvey Milk. While his assassination reminds us of the violence that members of the LGBTQ+ community suffer, his accomplishments reminds us how important and influential those same members are to our country. https://t.co/sCI4ExBSty — PolitiTweet.org

103 years ago the House passed the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote, but it wasn’t until the following August that it was ratified by 3/4 of the states. It took decades for the women’s suffrage movement to celebrate this triumph, but their hard work paid off. — PolitiTweet.org
