We’ve become the “mass shooting generation” against our will. We should be safe in our schools, parks, movie theaters, grocery stores — EVERYWHERE! But for too long, our lawmakers have cowered to the gun industry, putting their profit over our lives. Enough is enough.

The three children and one teacher killed in the horrific shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School deserved to come home alive. Honor them by reading and sharing their stories. Give the shooter #NoNotoriety.

Yesterday, the Silver Rail Elementary School community lived through every parent's worst nightmare. When we send our children to school each morning, we deserve to know that they will come home to us alive. This fear and trauma doesn't have to be our normal.

Too many students have been stolen by preventable school shootings. When guns are the #1 killer of American kids and teens, keeping us safe from gun violence should be top priority for every leader elected to represent us. Instead, Congress fails us every day that they refuse to take action.

Three children — ages 5, 8, and 11 — and their teacher didn’t come home to their families last night because this country has decided that mass shootings are an acceptable price to pay for unfettered access to guns.

Police are reporting that children are among the victims of a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, OR. Our schools should be safe spaces of learning, not where we run from bullets. Our hearts are with the school community. https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/15/us/oregon-school-active-shooter

When 3D-printed firearms can be made at home and brought to our schools, it puts us all at risk. It’s the responsibility of adults to keep us safe — not put us in harm’s way.

Students, staff, and families have made it clear: They don’t want more guns on Florida campuses. This November, voters will remember who catered to the gun lobby and who stood up for the safety of our communities.

Nineteen-year-old Ramontreal Hodge deserved a future. His loved ones deserved the chance to watch him grow up. His peers deserve to feel safe. But Ramontreal is now among the countless young people whose lives have been taken by gun violence because craven politicians refuse to take action.

“Florida lawmakers claimed this program was necessary, but a month into the school year, not a single institution has chosen to adopt it… It's a clear sign that campus leaders recognize bringing more guns into lecture halls and libraries doesn't make us safer.” - Emily Dorman, FSU SDA volunteer

Seven years ago today, police shot and killed Atatiana Jefferson in Fort Worth, Texas. Atatiana was playing video games with her nephew, who witnessed the shooting. Gun violence is gun violence — no matter who pulls the trigger. In honor of Atatiana, we fight to end gun violence in all its forms.

We deserve SAFETY at our athletic events, NOT gun violence.

On December 2, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Viramontes v. Cook County to decide the constitutionality of state assault weapons bans. The bans have been upheld by the vast majority of federal courts, and the Supreme Court must follow suit. Our communities’ safety depends on it.

“When anyone speaks out, people call it performative. This is real-life stuff that has drastically impacted people’s lives, so I will continue to use social media to meet people where they are. If we can use platforms for awareness and change, use it!” - Bo, NM Students Demand Action content creator

At least two people were shot and killed and 25 others were taken to the hospital after shots rang out at a homecoming block party in Vienna, GA. About 50 shots were reportedly fired in two locations where over 1,000 people were gathered. We don't deserve to live or die like this.

Disarm abusers. Protect survivors. Here’s eight ways you can raise awareness about domestic gun violence during Domestic Violence Awareness Month:

Trump dismissed domestic violence and called it a “lesser” crime in the past. If that were the case, over 70 women wouldn't be dying every month at the hands of an abuser. But they are. Instead of emboldening abusers and undermining survivors, we need to invest in real solutions that keep us safe.
