Later that day, at 17:55 UTC, Rep. Ivey tweeted about attending a sermon by Revs. Mia and Mark Whitlock at Reid Temple AME Church. He highlighted the church’s role as “a pillar of outreach and hope,” particularly significant amidst potential threats to essential services like Medicaid: “Yesterday morning, I joined Revs. Mia and Mark Whitlock at @reidtempleame for a powerful sermon: ‘Bent but Still Blessed.’ Reid Temple continues to be a pillar of outreach and hope—especially critical as we face threats to essential services like Medicaid under proposed”.

At 19:57 UTC on the same day, Rep. Ivey reaffirmed his commitment to combating gun violence during #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth by promoting legislation he introduced known as the Raise the Age Act. This initiative aims to restrict access to dangerous weapons for teenagers as part of broader efforts toward gun safety reforms: “This #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth, I pledge to continue the fight to end gun violence in America. That is why I introduced the Raise the Age Act to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of teens.”
