4. Their goal is to to put pressure on Congress to pass gun reform and make schools safer by taking legislative action on gun control.

5. This movement, created by students, led by students, is based on emotion. It is based on passion and it is based on pain. Our biggest flaws our tendency to be a bit too aggressive, our tendency to lash out, things that you expect from a normal teenager these are our strengths. The only reason that we ve gotten so far is that we are not afraid of losing money, we re not afraid of getting reelected or not getting reelected, we have nothing to lose. The only thing we have to gain at this point is our safety. -Delaney Tarr, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Senior

7. In honor of the 17 lives lost, we will have a moment of silence today, March 14th, in your 3rd period class. Moment of Silence: a short period of silent thought or prayer What to do: During this time, please be respectful, stop what you re doing, and sit quietly until the moment is over. Those who have lost their lives deserve a moment to be honored and remembered.

8. How can your voice be heard? Voice your support on social media. You can also lend your voice to the numerous social-media campaigns seeking to raise awareness of gun violence and gun-control legislation. There s the #NeverAgain movement, which was created after the Stoneman Douglas shooting by teenage survivors of the attack. You can also tweet at politicians and businesses to share your opinion. Reach out to your elected officials. In addition to calling out politicians for taking money from the gun lobby, you can also reach out to your elected officials (whether they re affiliated with the NRA or not) to let them know just how important gun- control is to you. If you re not sure who your representatives are (or how to contact them), Everytown for Gun Safety makes the whole process pretty easy: just fill out a form on their website, and they ll find the appropriate number for you to call in Congress. You can also visit ContactTheCongress.org for more information on who you should contact and how to reach them. Talk to your teachers, counselors, and administration to express your concerns. We are here to support you!
