National High School Walk-Out for Anti Gun Violence

National High School Walk-Out for Anti Gun Violence

The Issue

We are the students, we are the victims, we are change, fight gun violence now! High School students across the U.S.A, the way to fight back is here. There has been too much complacency on the part of politicians when it comes to gun violence. The time to act is now!

Public school shootings affect communities and especially teenagers. On February, 14th a High School shooting in Parkland, Florida occurred, killing 17 people. Still,  POTUS has not addressed any form of gun legislation. The majority of teenagers have no right to vote, leaving our voice unheard. The government does not hear or care how these tragedies affect our lives.  Seven children and teens are killed with guns in the U.S. on an average day (https://everytownresearch.org). The violence of guns is being performed in our schools and our communities. Not the Senate floor. As the future of America, it is time for teenagers to speak their minds and put their frustration into action.

The Plan:

On Friday, April 20th, the 19th anniversary of the Columbine shooting I propose a National High School student walk out. Walk out of school, wear orange and protest online and in your communities. Sign the petition if you pledge to do so. Nothing has changed since Columbine, let us start a movement that lets the government know the time for change is now. #nationalschoolwalkout

The problem of gun attacks in America is a very big problem. Guns should be banned because they cause innocent people to lose their lives. Armed robberies, massive shootings in schools, parks, parades, etc. that shows us that we are not really safe ANYWHERE. We never know when someone will decide to attack us because they didn't like something and I think it's terrifying and it shouldn't be like that. Guns should be banned for everyone's safety because there have been many catastrophes that have caused innocent people to lose their lives and I don't know why no one has changed the law regarding the legality of guns.
