Now, our children cry out for action. They want an end to these mass shootings. They want their schools and communities to be safe. We must hear them. We must strengthen school security, limit or ban the sale of assault-style weapons, prioritize the mental health of America's students, and prevent people with serious mental health problems from owning guns. Though inaction, we have failed our children and each other.

Take this action now.  Contact everyone you know through Twitter, Facebook, and email and urge them to support our petition. Please be sure to include this link to the petition.

#"Children United To End School Violence: Make Your Voice Heard" No More Finger-Pointing, No More Dying, Just Action

Because of our inaction, we are destined to see the repeating horror of more mass shootings, more loved ones slaughtered, more lives, some just beginning, forever gone, and more families and communities left with devestating pain and grief.  Our outright failure to end these tragedies points to the seriouness of our  dysfunction as a nation.

Some may seek solace by thinking, “Thank God it didn't happen here.” OK, maybe it didn't this time. So what. It happened, it happened to children and adults just like you and me, and it will keep happening. 

As more and more die, we stay mired in fruitless discord and debate over gun contol, blinded by the notion that we are on the only right side of this issue. Wrong, wrong, wrong ... stop throwing stones, there are a lot of right answers. While we finger-point and blame, our kids have an important message for us: “Enough is enough, stop the bame game, and take action, nowI" We need to listen and do it.

Our children want action now. They want these tragedies to end, and end now!  They want their world  to be safer, now!  Their voices galvanize a defining call for all of us to take action that: strengthens security in schools, reinstates the ban on assault weapons, prioritizes the mental health of America's students, and stops people with serious mental health problems from owning guns. Not later, Now!

We are failing our children. It is time for them to speak out, for us to listen, and for all of us to take action. Begin by supporting them in your community. Support a local campaign: Children United To End School Violence Now

#Children United To End School Violence Now, Make Your Voice Heard


Week after week, we see the heart-breaking consequences of gun violence in our schools and communities. Sadly, nothing changes. Loved ones die, families and communities are left grieving and devastated, and we go on to the next tragedy.  Lives just beginning, forever gone. #"Enough is Enough."
It is time for children everywhere to become the defining voice for change.  United, they can strengthen our nation's courage and resolve to put an end to this nationwide tragedy. In unison, their voices can ignite the defining call for action: to increase security in their schools, to ban or limit access to assault weapons, and to keep firearms out of the hands of people with serious mental health problems.  Not later, now!
Organized and together, our children can get us and the Halls of Congress to solve this vanquishing onslaught. We are failing them. It is time for them to speak and for all of us to listen and act.  Please help start this movement in your community:#"Children United To End School Violence Now."
