Mass shootings have been increasing in frequency since 1966.

“Every day shootings are every day problems” — Trevor Bosley
Terrell Bosley, Tim Schmidt Jr., Tyrek Hill, Akilah Dasilva, and Maura Binkley’s lives were cut short by mass shootings. Their stories matter. Their lives matter. You can learn more about who they were and the legacies they leave behind by clicking here and reading the 30 under 30 magazine.
Mass shootings have been increasing through the years since 1966, with most happening in places where we build community.
Terrel, Tim, Tyrek, Akilah and Maura were young people who dedicated their lives to making others feel better. They were a brother, a friend, a teammate, an activist, and a sister. Music, traveling, helping others and sports fueled their lives. Lives that should have been long and successful, instead gun violence stole their futures far too early. Despite everything, they left a mark in the heart of their communities even though their lives were cut short.
They went out seeking community and simple joy, but a person with a firearm took everything from them. An estimated 393 million firearms are owned by American Civilians.
Leaving your home and getting out into the community should be safe and fun. Young people deserve to go to their churches, yoga studios, Halloween celebrations or just a Waffle House and come back home safely.
We need to keep advocating for a nation where you can go to any place and come back home safely. Help us by donating $20.25 or more to our movement.
