John,
We've been guided by one singular mission since the day we lost our loved ones: doing everything we can to protect children from gun violence. We take this threat extremely seriously, which is why we're proud to announce our new partnership and exclusive program offer with Bark – an online monitoring service used by parents, caretakers and schools across the United States.
Bark helps keep children safe online by identifying the warning signs of violence within texts, emails and 24+ social media platforms. Their technology works by analyzing phrases and the context around them to identify safety issues and concerns, all while preserving children's online privacy as they share, post and text.
Like our Know the Signs programs, which have intervened in thousands of school shootings, suicides and other harmful acts, Bark's technology has helped prevent 16 credible school shootings and thousands of other incidents involving cyberbullying, drug use, sexual predation, self-harm and more. Combining our Know the Signs programs with the Bark for Families product will help create safe communities – and that's a mission we can all get behind.
As part of our partnership, Bark is offering a special discount for Sandy Hook Promise supporters: a free one-week trial and 10% off for life. You can sign up today and take advantage of this offer at Bark's website.
This partnership is yet another important step toward building a safer world for all of our children, and we hope you'll check out Bark to see how you can help save lives in your own community.
Thanks for your continued support,
Sandy Hook Promise
