I am calling on the students and faculty of Clarksville Middle School to join communities across the nation who are demanding action to protect schools from gun violence.

Inspired by the courageous young people in Parkland, Fla., and across the nation, students, parents, educators, school staff, administrators and community allies join together on April 20, 2018, the anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting, for the National Day of Action Against Gun Violence in Schools. Together, we will take up the students' call of “No more.”

American students will walk out of class and protest. Clarksville Middle School must stand with those demanding leaders work to make the Stoneman Douglas shooting the last of its kind.

It could be a rally and walk-in before school. It could be a campus rally, a moment of silence or a schoolwide assembly, or wearing orange.

No more children murdered in school. No more parents sending a child to school who never comes home. No more teachers, coaches, principals, librarians or any school staff standing between students and a gunman. No more.

Please sign my petition to do a walkout to end gun violence.

Together, we will send a message that we won’t tolerate any more inaction on this issue.
