After the three most recent mass shootings by white male supremacist terrorists<\/a>, we are all morally obligated to take action. If you don’t know what action to take … no problem! I’ll give you five assignments this week.<\/p>\n

Start by taking a few minutes tomorrow morning to call your senators. Why? Because the House has already passed a bill requiring universal background checks for gun purchases, but Mitch McConnell refuses to bring it up for a vote in the Senate, instead offering his worthless \u201cthoughts and prayers\u201d to victims of gun violence.\u00a0 Call! Tell your senators what you think of what’s happening in this country. Tell your personal stories. Demand they cut short their recess and return to D.C. to put pressure on McConnell to hold the vote.<\/p>\n
