To: The United States House of Representatives, The United States Senate, and President Donald Trump
We stand with the Parkland students!
Heed the commonsense gun safety demands of the Parkland students, which include universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, and a rejection of all NRA campaign contributions.
Why is this important?
The courageous students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, are inspiring our nation with their determination to end senseless and preventable gun violence in the U.S.
These students are survivors of the 17th shooting on a U.S. school campus in the first 43 days of 2018.
They are demanding the immediate passage of commonsense gun safety laws—and are fearlessly calling out all lawmakers who answer their rightful demands with hollow promises.
These students will not be silenced by a mounting right-wing media attack campaign to smear them personally and spread lies about their efforts. They are rejecting false solutions offered by Trump and lawmakers, such as a recent Trump suggestion to arm educators in schools.
The Parkland students are standing strong, at the center of a powerful, emergent movement that's applying necessary and strategic pressure on Congress and Donald Trump. They are fighting for their safety. Our safety.
Let's make sure they and federal lawmakers know that Americans across the country are standing shoulder to shoulder with the students, promising as they are to not yield until our schools and communities are safe from gun violence.
Together, We say: YES to commonsense gun laws. And NO to the NRA and cowardly inaction by federal lawmakers.
We say: Parkland students, we are with you, now and always!
