The SAVE Act is not about whether a photo ID should be required for voting. Under the SAVE Act, the forms of ID most people use for voting, like a drivers license or military ID would not be accepted at the polls. They are trying to keep people from voting.
Gun Owners of America is lobbying Congress to pass the SAVE Act, which would require a majority of Americans to show a passport to register to vote.
But GOA opposes any law that requires showing a drivers license to buy a gun.
These are not serious people.
It's never been about rights. Now they're getting dangerously close to admitting it.
oops
text says: help us stop two reckless gun bills. The image shows a person with long hair holding a megaphone and a sign that says save kids not guns!
Tomorrow, Jan 7, two committee hearings will be held. The dangerous, pro-gun measures that will be discussed in these hearings will lead to more gun deaths and injuries. Contact your legislators now and demand they stand on the side of safety and common sense! act.waveedfund.org/a/notopermit...
“We’re talking about a state legislature that for over a decade now has refused to take up any life-saving, sensible gun violence prevention policies, and is blaming local leaders when they’ve tied their hands to a point where they’re unable to act effectively.” www.thetrace.org/2025/12/milw...

This week at the Capitol in Madison, extremist Republican legislators introduced several bills that are straight from the playbook of the corporate gun industry. Contact your legislators now and ask them to oppose these bills!

every eleven minutes
About 1 person dies by suicide in the U.S. every 11 minutes. Every one of these deaths is preventable.
Recently, countless people saw the social media video of a man being murdered. It was horrific. This is also what children see when their friends are shot in front of them.
Thoughts. Prayers. Action.
Gun violence is a tragedy. Always. In the past two weeks we've seen it wreak havoc on elementary students, teens, and a college campus. Every day across our country, people are shot in events that barely make the news. Our hearts break for all those impacted. We will never stop working for change.
As a nun, I'm expected to offer thoughts and prayers, and indeed I do. But that's not enough. We must rise up and take action together to stop this violence. This can't keep happening. Sister Helen Prejean
Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We must act. #Action #EndGunViolence #WaveEdFund Sister Helen Prejean
Gun violence doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When people are denied access to affordable healthcare, the risk of violence grows. Prevention starts with equity. Congress must not make this problem worse. #EndGunViolence #HealthEquity #RootCauses
@natalieeilbert.bsky.social wrote a great piece on the impact gun violence is having on our youth. www.jsonline.com/story/series...
Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. We're rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/aDmVFO57
Ok folks, this one is worth it. Watch the video -- a compilation of photos put together on top of an incredibly moving poem-- and read the article. www.jsonline.com/story/news/e...
A huge number of murders go unsolved. This means that, what is already the worst day of someone's life, can go without closure or resolve. Our hearts are with the many grieving families still seeking justice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzLv...

We're grateful to all who came out yesterday and helped make the Day of Action for Gun Violence Prevention a success. spectrumnews1.com/wi/milwaukee... @bradyunited.org @jhucgvs.bsky.social @giffords.org @momsdemand.bsky.social @everytown.bsky.social @marchforourlives.bsky.social
It’s time for Wisconsin to pass an ERPO law. “It’s not just policy. It’s a promise: We will not wait to mourn when there is still time to act.” Read the op-ed by our Sr. Advisor for Implementation, Lisa Geller & @waveedfund.bsky.social Assoc Exec Dir, Nick Matuszewski: captimes.com/opinion/gues...
Sadly, this happens year after year in Wisconsin. Each time, a wave of Wisconsinites speak out against it. You'd think eventually these legislators would learn...
If you weren't able to make it but still want to learn more, check out the recording! www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4zK...
What a great collection of folks to follow! Thanks 🧡
We appreciate WAVE staffer @tyler-kelly.bsky.social speaking out about the lack of action by lawmakers, and @erinmcgroarty.bsky.social at the @captimes.com for highlighting the removal of these commonsense and popular measures. captimes.com/news/abundan...
Milwaukee skyline is along the bottom. Text reads protect community violence intervention
This week, the Department of Justice terminated major CVI funding — without warning, and without regard for the harm this causes. But we’re not giving up. We’re organizing. If you believe in community-led safety, now is the time to speak up. #ProtectCVI #ViolencePrevention @thehavi.bsky.social
Political cartoon by Clay Bennet is captioned America Reacts. There are two separate images - one of a mother crying and clutching a child next to a newspaper with a mass shooting headline. The other image shows a man crying and clutching his gun.
Seems all too true. @claybennett.bsky.social
