Urge Burr & Tillis to Support Background Checks
The House has passed H.R. 8 (http://bit.ly/HR8BgrdCks), the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021, and now it's time for the Senate to act.
Background checks on gun sales work. But under current federal law, background checks are only required when the seller is a licensed gun dealer, which leaves all other sales (gun shows, private sales, online sales) unregulated.
Background checks also enjoy huge public support, with 93% of American voters supporting background checks on all gun sales, including 89% of Republicans and 87% of gun owners.
Yet Republicans in the Senate have mounted fierce opposition even to these most basic level gun safety laws. There is no excuse for not passing this legislation, which President Biden (who recently called our country's epidemic of gun violence "an international embarrassment") stands ready and eager to sign.
ACTION: Call and write Senators Thom Tillis (phone 202-224-6342, email http://bit.ly/ContactTillis) and Richard Burr (phone 202-224-3154, email http://bit.ly/ContactBurr) and urge them to support background checks.

For The People Act Deadline Approaching

38 states plus D.C. have expanded Medicaid, giving over 15 million people health coverage. People in the coverage gap in holdout states deserve coverage too and should not be forced to wait any longer. #South4MedEx

Expanding the pathway to health coverage is an act of racial justice. POC are overrepresented in the coverage gap nationwide. By supporting a federal coverage solution, we are supporting a new opportunity to reduce racial health disparities across the South. #South4MedEx https://t.co/uD1NYJQYJ1

Despite LOADS of additional funding made available by the #AmericanRescuePlan for holdout states to expand Medicaid, many Southern states are still refusing expansion. We need a new pathway to coverage NOW. #South4MedEx

Thanks to @TheBlackCaucus @HispanicCaucus @CAPAC @ReverendWarnock @ossoff @RepLloydDoggett and others in Congress who are working towards closing the coverage gap because our state leaders refuse to. #South4MedEx https://t.co/ajszkZuGj5
