Tell the truth about guns

-Gun violence is the only social justice issue where instead of telling the truth we reassure and coddle gun owners.

-Having a gun makes you less safe. It does not protect you or your family.

-Guns don’t work as defensive weapons. (Less than 1% of gun deaths are in self defense.)

-Two thirds of gun deaths are suicides.

-There is no good reason for a private person to have a gun. It only does harm.

-If you have a gun, you are the problem. You are contributing to the proliferation of guns.

It's so tragic as an American watching the school shootings slow down during the Covid shutdown, then climb again as schools open back up, knowing we have still done nothing

I was just thinking about how more parents showed up to speak out about critical race theory in schools than show up and speak out to demand gun reform so their kids won’t get shot and killed at school.

December 14, 2012, the Sandy Hook shooting took place. 9 years later, we still remember this tragedy. This loss was absolutely devastating, and yet, nothing prevents this from happening again. The system stays, and so does the cycle. One day, we hope that something changes, and these tragedies will no longer happen.

Don’t ask “how many more?”. Shout “not one more”.

Hi! Just wondering how to get involved with you guys and what you do

Hello! Thank you for sending in an ask, we're happy to assist!

So as you've probably seen from this blog, Students Demand Action is a student organization dedicated to fighting against gun violence. If you're not a student, no worries! We're a group under Everytown for Gun Safety, which also includes Moms Demand Action, which is for anyone who isn't a student, not just moms. We also have the Survivor Network, which is for survivors of gun violence.

To focus a bit more on SDA, we have groups in every state, as well as a Slack group to stay connected to one another. Since the pandemic, the focus has shifted to mainly virtual events, which have included pride events, leadership calls, the Virtual Field Office, and many more. As a student volunteer with SDA, you have many options, which include the text list, which alerts you whenever there's an upcoming event you can sign up for. If you're looking to get more involved, consider signing up to join the Slack group, which allows you much more access, including leadership positions, group trainings, text team, phone banking, and more. If you're interested in a more detailed response, please don't hesitate to send another ask, or send us a direct message!
