Iowa State National School Walkout

On April 20th, American students will walk out of class and protest gun violence. Together, we will send a message that we won’t tolerate any more inaction.

[Iowa State National School Walkout @ISUwalkout]

Join us on Tuesday, November 13th at 8 PM in Lago W0272 as we write to our elected officials and demand common sense gun reform in honor of the #BorderLineShooting. Thoughts and prayers will not stop the continuation of gun violence, but gun control will. #GunControlNow

“We’ve become numb to the reality that guns aren’t as prevalent in other countries. We’ve normalized gun violence and gun deaths in this country. Without responsible gun ownership, gun violence will continue to rise.” @Emma4Change #RoadToChange

“Our Republican governor is backed by the NRA. The NRA is the biggest lobbying organization in the nation and our politicians are so scared of losing that funding and losing the reelection, that they won’t back common sense gun regulations.”-Marion student #RoadtoChange

“There’s a nasty rhetoric going on that if you can’t stop all gun violence, you shouldn’t do anything at all. This is wrong. Why not take any possible steps, no matter how small, to stop gun violence?” @cameron_kasky #RoadtoChange

Q: How can we help to amplify minority and LGBTQ voices affected by gun violence? A: “Don’t speak over those voices. Give them a chance to be heard. Make sure that every story that can be told, is being told.”

“We need to bring back the human element of compassion. We can’t just write off those suffering at the hands of gun violence.” - MSD Alumni Jammal Lemy

“Inaction before has failed us. Columbine was supposed to be an anomaly. Doing nothing, surprisingly enough to some people, does nothing.” @cameron_kasky #RoadToChange

[IowaSLI @IowaSLI]

“The 2014 midterm elections had the lowest turnout since WWII... People aren’t voting because the system has failed us. But if you are complaining about the system without doing anything to change it, that’s part of the problem.” @cameron_kasky #RoadToChange

Audience: I’m 18 and ready to vote. How do I know who to vote for that represents my values?

Answer: Check out https://t.co/2YapFcv8tr for politicians funding records & don’t vote by policy, not straight party.
