HIGHLIGHTS: The March For Our Lives and the fight to end gun violence

Another national action addressing the need for gun violence prevention is taking place next month. The #NationalSchoolWalkout on Friday, April 20, 2018, will join students, educators, parents, and community leaders together to take action.

At the March For Our Lives on March 24, hundreds of thousands of people flooded Washington, D.C., and satellite marches across the country to protest gun violence — a public health crisis that claims an average of 96 lives every day. As young people shared their stories of loss, grief, and survival, the nation listened.

Now it’s Congress’s turn. We’re calling on our lawmakers to listen to these advocates, support gun violence prevention research, and take informed action to protect our communities. Everyone deserves to lead a life that is healthy and free from violence.

Here are some highlights from the day’s events:

Keep Fighting

Each day that Congress fails to act, another community experiences the tragedy of gun violence. Whether gun violence is in the form of mass shootings, intimate partner violence, or overzealous and brutal policing, we cannot afford to be silent. That’s why we need you to take the energy from the March For Our Lives into the days, weeks, and months ahead.

Here are several organizations that need your support:

March For Our Lives

Everytown for Gun Safety

Moms Demand Action

Live Free Campaign

Sandy Hook Promise

Giffords

Advance Peace

Violence Policy Center

Community Justice Reform Coalition

Newtown Action Alliance

Brady Campaign

Million Hoodies

Coalition to Stop Gun Violence

Jessica Chastain on the importance of Planned Parenthood

Jessica Chastain is beautiful, smart, and definitely talented. She is a great, dedicated actress and an overall wonderful person. Someone would be foolish to think otherwise. We are always glad to help out everyone we can. And if we can’t then we’ll direct you to someone who can. Also, *cough* She should be Batwoman *cough*.

I knew that I wasn’t straight, but I didn’t know if I was gay, I didn’t know if I was bisexual - I didn’t feel comfortable having that conversation with myself. I was 20 when I came out the first time. It got to a point where I had fallen in love with a friend, and one of my other best friends had sort of noticed. And there were rumors going around in the dance world back home. It was breaking my heart. I was going crazy and I didn’t know what to do. I was lying and lying and lying, and doing everything I could to hold on to my secret. Because I hadn’t figured it out yet, and so it felt like everyone else was deciding it for me and they knew better than I did. It was really scary.

There are a lot of different ways to love people, and a lot of different ways to structure a relationship. One of the few conclusions I may have reached from writing this book is that when we say ‘relationship’ or ‘marriage’ we all think we’re talking about the same thing. But I think there are a lot of different deals out there.

Tim Kreider on writing his new essay collection I Wrote This Book Because I Love You about his many unconventional relationships. (via nprfreshair)

Often times in a relationship couples have disagreements. Part of this is because they believe they know or understand what their partner means when they say something. Just ask so that your not just guessing and your partner is understood. Communication is key to ANY relationship.

Wet Dreams is only normal. Don't stress about it. They usually start popping up around puberty and they happen to everyone, so aren't alone. When you wake up, you may be a little "wet", but that is from just nocturnal emission. That means that you have ejaculated while you were sleeping. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to check out our website or come in to Teen Clinic!

Black Panther ain't the only black superhero we can see in action! Black Lightning on the CW and Luke Cage on Netflix. Even though one is Marvel and one is DC, both heroes fight for the African-American community and against injustice, which is what we need nowadays. Check out these awesome shows if you get the chance and SEE BLACK PANTHER! You won't regret it.

These are so awesome! Don’t y’all just love “How We Met” stories? People with different personalities, coming from opposite sides of the world having an astronomical chance to meet someone that they’ll fall in love with. But one always has to be careful of who we fall in love with.

Long-Acting Contraception Explained

Long-acting contraception prevents pregnancy by keeping the sperm and egg from uniting. However, they do not protect you against STDs.

WE LOVE THESE VIDEOS!!! There is more to LARC (Long Acting Reversible Contraception) than the video tells, but none the less it is great at explaining what's what. Check out this channel (AMAZE Org) and our own (UHPPYHP) for more great content like this.
