I just started an organization called Students for Progress to push for gun control and a better Code Red response protocol in wake of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Elementary, middle, and high school students are the overwhelming majority of school shooting victims, and yet, we have no real power to enact change in order to protect ourselves. Until now.
There are now marches, protests, and events being held across the country to push Congress to adopt gun legislation that ensures that something like this never happens again. But why stop there?
Students for Progress is an organization that plans to push for gun control and reform even years from now. We are run by students and are advocating for students.
This idea is just getting off the ground, but we would appreciate any and all support that we can get. Currently, we have a functioning account on Twitter, which you can find under the username @Kids4Progress. We plan to launch an Instagram account by the end of the week, and we have a few people working on a website.
Even if you can't help out or don't have a Twitter, please reblog so that others can see this!
UPDATE: I have created a Tumblr for the organization. Feel free to follow @kids4progress to keep up with our work!
