I am incredibly saddened to hear the news of Sophie Trevitt's passing.
Her tireless advocacy to #RaiseTheAge was key in progressing the reform nationally and in the NT.
My condolences to Sophie's family and friends - she was an incredible advocate and will be greatly missed.
Last week we saw photos of prison guards in riot gear pointing a military-style gun directly at the head of a child, who was cowering beneath them. #BanksiaHill #RaiseTheAge
THREAD 🧵 (1/3)
A moment of jubilation! Advocacy works! #RaiseTheAge HB2744 has passed the Committee and is headed to Calenders!!!!!! Thank you ALL who voted YES and all who do the work! #Uvalde #DoYourJob #txlege
Last year over 58% of mass shooters used AR-15 rifles, spreading carnage in tragedies across the US.
The #Uvalde shooter choose this weapon for mass terror because of its accessibility & power.
We need #raisetheage and #redflaglaws to help stop this madness.
Earlier this year, Sophie Trevitt was awarded the 2023 Voltaire Human Rights Award for her work to #raisetheage and protect Aboriginal children from being sent to prison.
“No one can consider the job done while there are still children suffering behind bars”
Ten days ago, the #RaisetheAge legislation that considered 17-year-olds as children in the juvenile legal system was officially repealed. Despite claims of 'surging' crime being linked to youth, there's no evidence connecting an increase in violent crime to this policy.
YSAS youth worker Don Concha spoke with ABC News Richard Willingham about the need to raise the age of criminal responsibility to at least 14.
No 12 year old child should grow up in prison, Dan Andrews must #RaiseTheAge to at least 14. No exceptions.

With Greens in government, the ACT is raising the age of criminal responsibility to 14 by mid-2025.
Now it's our turn.
Victoria needs to #RaiseTheAge to 14 without exceptions, now. Kids belong in community and in school, not in prison.
Reminder: Rep. Ryan Guillen is still not even allowing the #RaiseTheAge Act to get a vote in committee in the #txlege .
Raising the age from 18 to 21 to buy an AR-15 is something that has **81% support** among the American public, according to Fox News.

Vale Sophie Trevitt. Soph devoted her life to the pursuit of justice. She was a fearless climate campaigner, a lawyer, a leading and inspirational advocate for young Aboriginal people #RaisetheAge . She was funny, generous, courageous and a wonderful young woman and friend.
#Republicans ' failure to address #RaiseTheAge or ANY #CommonSenseGunSafety this #txlege session leaves #Texans vulnerable to more devastating mass shootings.
We need to stop this now!
TEXANS, ask yourself: Why is Rep. Ryan Guillen refusing to bring HB2744 to the House floor for a vote, especially when the majority of Texans want to #RaiseTheAge to buy automatic weapons ?
Text TEXAS to 644-33 & tell Rep. Ryan Guillen to stop being a coward & #DoSomething . Moms Demand Action
