John, between classroom setup, learning new curriculum, and writing beginning of the year lesson plans, summer has never meant "time off" for teachers.

At Teachers Unify, summer also means organizing, advocating, and speaking at events across the country as we fight to make our school communities safer!

But everyone else tends to take this season slower, which means that summer historically brings a massive slowdown in our donations. And when you’re taking on the billion-dollar gun lobby, you can’t afford any slowdowns.

We’re using this time out of the classroom to double down on training, so educators across the country can start the next school year ready to be advocates for real change. But John, if fundraising doesn’t pick up, we may not be able to seize this critical moment for educators.

With just weeks until teachers return to the classroom, every second counts.

We have our summer assignments lined up, but we need your help to keep them on track and avoid that summer slump.

Please, will you chip in $15 today so our movement to end gun violence in schools doesn’t lose any momentum this summer? >>  >>
