Dear friend,

On February 14, 2018, my daughter Gina Montalto was murdered at school in the Parkland, Florida, shooting, along with sixteen other beautiful souls. Seven years ago today, my family’s world changed forever.

On a day when so many are celebrating love, we spend it remembering the loved ones taken from us. The love we still carry. The love that should have lasted a lifetime.

Nothing can bring back our children and spouses. But we can still fight for a future where no parent, no sibling, and no spouse has to endure this pain. Together with your help, we have built a movement dedicated to one simple, unwavering truth: no family should ever have to endure the pain of having a loved one murdered at school.

We ask all parents, grandparents, siblings, and spouses to take a moment and join us as we remember the loved ones we lost.

Today, we grieve. But we also stand up—for them and for every child and teacher who deserves to come home safely from school.

Thank you for standing with us.

– Tony Montalto, President of Stand with Parkland
