In a time, where many people feel helpless against the tyranny that is operating in our country, we have given them something to fight for. 2 years ago when our movement started, no one thought we would get here and not this fast. But we have built a movement that is undeniable and the rest of the country is watching! A movement that signifies we won’t accept the status quo any longer. We will not pay with our lives and our pocketbooks for gun violence any more. We do not accept gun makers freedom from liability. You will share the costs of gun violence with us and we will create a financial incentive for you to care about the carnage, devastation, and costs your products create. You are not special, and just like in the opioid, tobacco, and automobile industry, your time of profiting off our trauma and grief is up!
Join the movement! DM us to have your organization join the coalition or our mailing list. Talk to your legislator, leave them a voicemail or send them an email, talk to a family member, and Donate to @safeillinois or @illinoisallies

I’m a proud part of the 4th Community Violence Intervention Leadership Academy cohort at @uchicago alongside a group of amazing leaders from around the country. Through the rest of the year, I’m learning about and developing strategies to help heal our communities of gun violence once and for all.
Through this experience, I hope to strengthen the work @freerootoperation is doing through BLOOM and solidify an avenue for Black women to get the recognition as leaders in the fight to end gun violence we need, and the investment we deserve to heal. We know when a woman is healed, so is a family, a community, and a nation. As I embark on this journey, and travel around the country to expand our horizons, I carry the community I serve with me.
CVILA is not just about building up & helping leaders it's about "Family" "Relationships" & the space to "Network so you don't have to sweat work" ❤️🙏🏽✊🏽💪🏽 "Community Violence Intervention Leadership Academy" #cvila #deanofstudents
