As teachers, we’ve spent years perfecting lockdown drills. We know exactly how to quiet a room, lock a door, and hide our students from view.
But we shouldn’t have to be experts in hiding. We need to be experts in prevention.
That is why Teachers Unify launched Project Lockdown. The data is clear: at least two-thirds of school shootings are committed with a firearm taken from the home. Project Lockdown is our nationwide campaign to move the “lockdown” from our classrooms to your homes, by educating parents and ensuring every firearm is securely stored and out of reach.
Teachers Unify is a grassroots movement of educators across America whose mission is to empower its constituents and supporters to demand that communities are safe from gun violence.
