Nineteen children and two educators massacred in their classroom. The slow constant of bloodshed continues in communities across the country, including all over Pennsylvania.The only reprieve from our collective pain is a glimpse at a world we will create, together, with gun violence policies we deserve...a world free from bullet wounds and tiny caskets.

You've been coping with the reality of this week for years and decades, and we're here to tell you, we're not going to stand for this violence any longer.

Learn how the movement is mobilizing, and what your role will be. 

Two Identical Snapshots, A Decade Apart

An entire nation in despair over something we thought we'd never endure again.

An entire nation in denial about what has continued in our communities for generations.

We also have been in denial of our collective power to end this crisis, and we're going to use it now and end gun violence forever.

We are not backing down. Read our statement in the wake of the attacks in Texas, and then read our press release from yesterday's massive rally. 

Over 300 advocates showed up with about 24 hours of mobilization, and hundreds more have been taking action online and raising much needed funds to advance this work.

HERE IS WHERE YOU COME IN

We’re collecting your personal items, items that would be used by you to identify your child or loved one, should they be someday massacred by gun violence. They’ll be delivered in a few short weeks to the doorsteps of the legislative leaders obstructing progress. 

Send us a memento that represents your child: a lock of hair, a small toy, a hair ribbon, a photo, a small article of clothing, a drawing, a matchbox car. Using these precious mementos, we will create a memorial tribute to the children lost, and to the living children who could be saved by stronger gun legislation. We will treat these mementos with the utmost care, as if we were handling the treasures of the children who were massacred in Uvalde.

In one month, we will hand-deliver this advocate-created political statement and art installation to House Speaker Bryan Cutler and Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward in Harrisburg. They must face up to their inaction!

We even have WHYY pushing out this call to action!

Don't back down. We are going to end gun violence together, and nothing can stop us.

No matter how you get involved, it matters. We would love for you to become a monthly donor to our work, to secure our mission and end gun violence once and for all.
