Dear friends,

Tomorrow marks five years since a violent tragedy changed our lives and our community. Every day since February 14, 2018, we’ve felt the indescribable loss that the Parkland school massacre has left in our hearts.

But in these five years, we’ve done so much to honor the memories of the daughters, sons, fathers, and spouses taken from us. Stand with Parkland’s founding families 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 has not subsided in these five years, we’ve taken that pain to make progress towards our goal of safer schools. [[link removed]]


[link removed] [[link removed]]Ahead of the five-year anniversary of the tragedy that brought us together, Stand with Parkland – the National Association of Families for Safe Schools is launching a fundraising drive to sustain this work for years to come. Please consider making a contribution today. [[link removed]]

Our organization has been sustainably and repeatedly successful in creating, advocating for, and changing local, state, and federal laws and policies to make students and teachers safe at school.

We put partisanship aside.

We move past outrage and indignation to take action.

We work with anyone – regardless of party affiliation – who shares our commitment to ending school shootings.

The loved ones we lost deserve nothing less.

In the past five years, we’ve seen many successes in our school safety movement:

*
We
helped
pass
the
Bipartisan
Safer
Communities
Act
.
This
law
implements
our
three
major
pillars:
campus
security,
student
mental
health,
and
safe
firearm
storage
and
is
the
first
major
piece
of
federal
legislation
targeting
gun
violence
that
has
passed
since
1994.
*
We
successfully
advocated
for
SB
590
-
School
Safety
in
Florida,
which
includes
the
establishment
of
a
parental
right
to
timely
notification
of
threats
at
school,
part
of
our
Parents
Need
to
Know
initiative
conceived
by
Board
member
Phil
Schentrup
and
his
wife
April.
They
are
Carmen’s
parents.
*
We
met
with
Education
Secretary
Cardona,
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.
*
We
created
SchoolSafety.gov
in
collaboration
with
the
Trump
administration
and
codified
it
into
federal
law
with
Stand
with
Parkland’s
Luke
and
Alex
School
Safety
Act
last
year.
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.

Friends, these are just a few of the accomplishments we’ve made in order to honor our loved ones whose lives were senselessly taken in the Parkland school massacre. 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 all our nation’s children.
