Friend,
We are heartbroken by yet another school shooting — this time in Minneapolis, just as 1.7 million PA children are headed back to school.
Here is what we know so far: The shooting occurred at a Catholic school during Wednesday morning mass. Children from Pre-K through 8th grade were in the pews when a shooter fired a rifle through the stained-glass windows. Two children, just 8 and 10 years old, were killed. Seventeen others were injured.
Back to School should be a time of joy — first-day photos, new friendships, and excitement for the year ahead. Instead, so many of our families are dealing with once-unfathomable fear and anxiety. And that fear is justified: In 2025 alone, there have already been at least 57 shootings at K-12 schools.
Each life lost is someone’s child, someone’s friend, someone’s parent . Every single tragedy deserves our attention and urgent action.
We envision a future free from gun violence where we all have the freedom to go to our jobs and send our kids to school without fear, worship and play without worry, and get to know our neighbors and friends. Friend, if you share our vision, will you become a volunteer today? [[link removed]]
TAKE ACTION [[link removed]]
Whether you’re a returning volunteer or new to the movement, volunteering is one of the best ways we know of to use your grief and outrage. If you feel the call to do something to prevent the next needless tragedy, this is the time to step up as a volunteer.
Our schools and neighborhoods should be safe. Friend, we will never stop working for a Pennsylvania with more birthdays and graduations and fewer funerals.
We’ll be in touch with ways you can take action.
In community,
Adam Garber
