Guns are the #1 killer of our generation, so our lawmakers shouldn’t put gun industry profits before our lives. We rallied to reinstate the bipartisan assault weapons ban yesterday, but we’re not stopping there. We’ll continue to fight for a future free from gun violence.

In 2019, @Mia_Tretta was shot and wounded by a student who brought a ghost gun to her high school. Her best friend Dominic was killed. Ever since, Mia has been a gun violence prevention advocate in Dominic’s honor—because no one else should have to go through what they have.

Bandaid solutions like banning backpacks puts the responsibility of preventing school shootings on kids, instead of getting at the root of the problem. We need lawmakers to pass gun safety laws. We need gun owners to securely store their guns.

Schools Ask Students to Leave Backpacks at Home Amid Wave of Threats

The move comes as posts have been reportedly circulating across the app TikTok in which users threaten to perform school shootings on December 17.

Gun violence has stolen countless lives and traumatized millions more, so the language we use when talking about it is important. It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth and we’ve put together a small trauma-informed guide to help navigate these conversations. (A thread)

“I think about it a lot. If I’m in class or at a club or a sporting event, I think about, ‘What is the best escape route?’ That shouldn’t be what students have to be concerned about.” - Olivia Stubbs, a sophomore at Reynolds High School

Yesterday, Florida Students Demand Action leaders testified against the dangerous and irresponsible permitless carry bill. Although the bill advanced, “we will continue to show up and fight to keep our communities safe,” said Alexis, one of our speakers.

Because you marched, organized, and voted, we passed the most significant gun safety legislation in 30 years. But let's be clear — we have more work to do. Today, I am proud to share that I will oversee the first-ever White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention.

Gun violence is a public health crisis. We need meaningful action to keep us safe, NOT legislation to arm teachers. We’re rallying at the Tennessee State Capitol to demand that lawmakers hear us and put our lives ahead of gun industry profits.

American kids and teens are paying the price for irresponsible gun ownership with our lives. Unlocked, loaded guns in homes lead to unintentional shootings that could have been prevented. #SecureStorageSavesLives
