"Guns claim too many children's lives in this country & shatter families in the process. 1 child killed by a gun is 1 child too many, whether they are on the south side of Chicago or in #UvaldeTX. Congress needs to act now & pass commonsense #gunviolenceprevention legislation!"

Here are other recent tweets from Bobby L. Rush:

"The National Crime Information Center estimates that in 2020, 34% of the women & girls who went missing in the U.S. were Black, despite being only 15% of the population. This racial disparity shows the need for the FBI to solve these cases & bring closure to families."

"On #NationalMissingChildrensDay, we remember Tionda & Diamond Bradley who disappeared over 20 years ago. Their case is not unique, which is why I have called on the FBI to create a special task force to find missing Black women & girls.

"Today marks 2 years after #GeorgeFloyd was murdered by police, sparking national action on police reform, but still more needs to be done. Convicting the police officers involved was not enough.
The Senate needs to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act now."
