John–

In my five years since joining Students Demand Action, I have found a
community. A community of young people who are incredibly kind and
passionate about gun violence prevention. We're on a mission to create the
future we deserve—a future free from gun violence.

Gun violence is the number one killer of children, teens, and college-aged
youth in America. This is not the present or future I or anyone I know
sees for ourselves—and we are determined to change it. [ [link removed] ]Forward this

We are leading the fight to end gun violence, and there's room for
everyone in this movement. [ [link removed] ]Whether you're a student or not, add your
name to become a volunteer with Students Demand Action, Moms Demand
Action, and Everytown today.

This year, we've been busy.

We kicked things off on a high note in January when a group of my peers
traveled to Las Vegas to call out the gun industry at their annual trade
show. Collectively we made sure the industry couldn't hide from the truth:
They created a killer business we're paying for with our lives. We're
demanding they stop their marketing to kids, they stop making DIY kits
that allow anyone to build untraceable weapons, and so much more—because
these actions will save lives.

Our work continued when we launched #KillerBusiness, a campaign asking our
colleges and universities to put our safety above their revenues. We've
demanded they divest from any stocks, bonds, or investment funds that help
fund the gun industry. To date, we have 44 active divestment campaigns in
colleges and universities across the country with even more to come in the
fall.

And just this past month, over 6,000 students helped us in calling out
Ruger, a massive gun company, for failing to conduct a simple human rights
impact assessment of their products.

We've grown up with lockdown drills and safety seminars. We have
experienced the impact of gun violence, both as survivors and as young
people afraid of experiencing an act of gun violence ourselves. And we
have the power to exact the systemic change we need.

That's why this movement is so important to me, and why I am so proud of
the work I've done with Students Demand Action. Will you join me? [ [link removed] ]Share

violence.
