WASHINGTON, D.C. — Stand Up America President & Founder Sean Eldridge issued the following statement on Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema’s continued support for the Senate filibuster:

“Imagine having the power to act to save lives and not using it. In the face of yet another deadly act of gun violence, Senators Manchin and Sinema are allowing their Republican colleagues to continue to block any action on gun safety.

“The filibuster is not more precious than Americans’ lives. They could change the rules today, but they refuse to. It’s time to elect leaders who will finally act on gun safety.”
