These stats show a dramatic escalation in the number of school shootings and school security basics, also known as regulations, are peculiarly insufficient. Parents are expecting changes—changes that will allow for the safety and well-being of their children and the freedom to learn without fear of violence or the everlasting trauma that comes with lock-down drills.

Get involved—activisim aids in the guidance of communities steering them in the right and just direction. Parents and communities are mobilizing and deliberating on how to properly keep their children and the community safer from the threat of gun violence.
