Dear supporters,

COVID-19 has disrupted nearly every facet of American life – including our schools. Staff and students have turned to digital tools to facilitate remote learning. Many states have already canceled in-person schooling for the remainder of the academic year.

We, like many other organizations and businesses, are shifting our plans in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. However, we are continuing to make your voice heard in all levels of government on the need to secure our nation’s schools, improve mental health screening and support programs, and ensure responsible firearms ownership.

Today is #GivingTuesdayNow, a new global day of giving and unity developed as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19.

Students and staff might be away from the classroom, but their safety and security are no less important and they deserve our support during this difficult time. If you are able, please consider contributing to Stand with Parkland today to support our work as we advocate for practical public safety reforms that ensure every child’s right to attend school free of fear.

We launched our Resources hub to ensure everyone has access to online materials to help communities navigate the triad of school safety and address it in a real and impactful way despite the remote nature of work these days.

Mental
health
screening
and
support
programs
have
and
will
continue
to
be
one
of
our
pillars
of
change
and
the
public
health
crisis
we
are
all
going
through
may
exacerbate
feelings
of
loneliness.
The
Columbia
Protocol
is
a
valuable
tool
to
increase
your
awareness
of
suicide
risk
and
how
you
can
help
prevent
it.
This
period
of
social
distancing
can
be
hard.
If
you
are
struggling,
please

for
help

Many
children
and
teenagers
are
using
virtual
learning
programs
and
spending
more
time
online
these
days.
Parents
should
be
familiar
with
the
platforms
and
technologies
their
kids
are
using.

With
school
buildings
now
vacant,
administrators
should
explore
campus

updates

ahead
of
the

We
encourage
everyone
to
visit
SchoolSafety.gov
–
developed
by
the
Trump
administration
in
consultation
with
Stand

–
and
use
the
“Safety
Readiness
Tool”
to
see
what
your
community’s
schools
can
put
into
place.

*
Please
exercise
responsible
firearms
ownership.
Whether
a
firearm
has
been
in
your
family
for
generations
or
was
newly
acquired,
be
sure
to
educate
yourself
and
your
entire
family
on
firearm
safety.
Please
take
the
time
to
make
certain
your
firearms
are
safely
stored
where
they
are
not
likely
to
be
stolen
and
where
your
children
cannot
access
them.
This
is
especially
important
as
our
nation’s
schools
remain
closed,
keeping
students
at
home,
while
parents
return
to
work
as
many
states
begin
to
reopen
for
business.

Our mission continues online today, but we are already looking ahead to the fall when students will return to classrooms after months away from teachers and friends. It will be a difficult transition for many, and we are getting to work now, encouraging administrators, lawmakers, and community stakeholders to prepare our campuses and ensure students have the resources they need when they return.

With your help, we will build consensus in our communities and across our country regarding the changes we can make today to protect our kids and teachers in schools. Your donations allow us to amplify your voice, that of compromise and pragmatism, as we focus on these vital issues and the concerns of America’s families.

Will you support our mission to make America’s schools safer and give to Stand with Parkland today, in honor of Giving Tuesday Now? [[link removed]]
