Dear friends,

Tomorrow marks four years since the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.

Since February 14, 2018, we – the loved ones of those who were killed in the tragedy – have banded together to do something about the violence in schools so that no other families have to experience the pain that we have had to endure. And while the pain of such indescribable loss has not subsided in these four years, we have made progress towards our goal of safer schools by working together with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle at the local, state, and national levels.

MAKE A CONTRIBUTION [[link removed]]In the past four years, we have advocated and lobbied for legislation to advance school safety by:

*
Successfully
advocating
for
SB
590
-
School
Safety
in
Florida,
which
became
law
on
July
1,
2021.
The
law
includes
the
establishment
of
a
parental
right
to
timely
notification
of
threats
at
school,
which
was
part
of
our
Parents
Need
to
Know
initiative
conceived
by
Board
member
Phil
Schentrup
and
his
wife
April.
They
are
Carmen’s
parents.
*
Meeting
with
Ambassador
Rice,
Representative
Richmond,
and
others
from
the
Biden
administration
to
discuss
our
ongoing
efforts
to
prevent
mass
school
violence.
We
look
forward
to
working
together
on
physical
school
security
measures,
improved
mental
health
programs,
and
responsible
firearms
ownership.
*
Creating
SchoolSafety.gov
in
collaboration
with
the
Trump
administration.
The
website
is
a
one-stop-shop
for
those
charged
with
the
safety
of
America’s
schools
to
find
information
on
a
multitude
of
topics
from
social/emotional
learning
techniques
to
checking
the
security
plan
with
the
readiness
assessment
tool.
*
Launching
an
initiative
called
5
Questions
Every
Family
Should
Ask
to
provide
resources
for
families
hoping
to
facilitate
conversations
with
their
schools
about
safety.
*
Testifying
before
the
U.S.
Senate
Committee
on
Homeland
Security
and
Government
Affairs
to
call
for
more
funding
for
school
security,
federal
research
of
school
threat
assessments,
better
sharing
of
information
between
law
enforcement
and
other
agencies,
and
discussions
of
“red
flag”
laws.

Friends, these are just a few of the accomplishments we’ve made in order to honor our loved ones who senselessly lost their lives to mass school violence. Nothing we do will ever bring our children and spouses back to us, but we are committed to doing everything we can to protect America’s families and schools. With your support, we can keep this important work going and create a better future for our nation’s children.
