@voices4saferTN Great quote to highlight from this article—“No one wants felons, domestic abusers, or the seriously mentally ill to have access to firearms. Yet today, those individuals can easily purchase a firearm with no background check.” Thanks @voices4saferTN!
TN has a public health crisis w/firearms. Conversations on this topic are hard, but critical. Great discussion this week w/@SheilaCalloway @JayWellons5 & Erin Rogus. We can respect gun rights & save lives. Thx @voices4saferTN for the work advancing pragmatic firearm safety laws.
After watching this story Monday at 6, I hope you will be touched by this little angel - and her wonderful family - as much as I was! #RIPEvelynDieckhaus #CovenantSchoolShooting
After getting to know the Dieckhaus family following the Covenant School shooting, I wanted to make sure that I did justice to the story they wanted to tell. Please watch Evelyn’s Story, Monday and Tuesday on @NC5 at 6!

Hey, look at that. There’s new Nashville Mayor @freddieoconnell at the White House with @POTUS and other mayors.
We're getting an average winter's worth of snow in 24 hours. Average annual snowfall in Nashville since 1871 is 8.1". From 1991-2020 it's 4.7". Totals 6" in many places already. More snow to come.
Today marks the beginning of the Tennessee Legislature's 2024 session. Let's attend meetings, engage with legislators, and passionately advocate for meaningful firearm safety. Check out opportunities to volunteer on our website. #SaferTN
@Justinjpearson Praying for the Covenant school students, families, friends As this re-opens a wound trying to heal 🙏🏼 @voices4saferTN
There’s a movement afoot in Tennessee. We need more people like this in office! @VoteGloriaJ stood up, now I’m standing with her. Support her campaign at votegloriajohnson.com.
Standing Tall w/ @VoteGloriaJ! Honored to serve as co-chair in her bid for U.S. Senate. Like my mom, she's a special edu teacher. I know a fighter when I see one and Gloria will leave it all on the battlefield for working families. Let's send Marsha & her bad hair weave packing!

As #tnleg opens a special session, I’m glad to see legislators meeting with Covenant School families and advocates for gun safety like @voices4saferTN. I hope legislators will at least incentivize safe gun storage and productive measures for improving mental health access.
Today at 4:00 p.m., the Tennessee state legislature meets to begin the special session on #GunReform called by @GovBillLee. For info about attending this special session, legislative visits and how to download signs, check out this @voices4saferTN link: safertn.org/wp-content/upl…
During this week's special session on #GunReform, @voices4saferTN reps will attend meetings at the TN state capitol & Cordell Hull Bldg. Would you be interested in signing up for a shift? Whether it's 2 hours or 2 days, your showing up makes a difference! safertn.org/safer-together…
When we founded @voices4saferTN, we knew the road would be hard. The issue was a third rail, no one in recent memory had successfully held together a bipartisan advocacy group, session would be ending soon. /1
“Just since the legislative session ended on April 21, according to Senate Democrats, who are keeping track, 24 children here have lost their lives to gunfire, and 38 others have been injured. The time for political courage has never been greater.” nytimes.com/2023/08/21/opi…
As the special session begins today, let’s remember that firearms are the leading cause of death of children in our state. We can’t be ok with that. @voices4saferTN
