“A resolution to expel Justin Jones from his seat as a member of the House of Representatives…” Just handed this on the House floor, but they still have to vote. We’ll not be intimidated. THE PEOPLE are demanding we act to stop kids from being murdered in school. #goodtrouble

Thanks to the thousands of people who showed up day after day at the State Capitol, the Tennessee legislature is having a special session to consider changes in gun laws. This is an amazing moment for the gun safety movement. Justin Jones joins me to explain why.
