We, the Raiders of ERHS, will rise up and act against gun violence across the nation and pledge to keep our school safe.

The declaration of independence was written with three founding principles,” life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”But we cannot be happy or have any liberties without life so let’s please find some common ground so we can spare INNOCENT lives.

Joe R. Perez, 20

Akilah Dasilva, 23

Deebony Groves, 21

These four young people had their whole lives ahead of them.

Remember their faces and names. Fight for them.

This is why we take action. This is why we won't give up. As long as people use military-style guns with the sole purpose of hurting many people, we are all here saying #ENOUGH. There are too many people dying everyday. How many more before we see real change? https://t.co/qKUgSKxkKM

Tennessee authorities identified the four victims who were killed when a partially naked gunman opened fire at a suburban Waffle House early Sunday.

All four were young people of color with their whole lives of ahead of them.

@Ryan_Deitsch Joaquin Oliver, 17, gave me advice when I was a confused sophomore, never walked down the hall with out a smile, never let anyone talk down to his friends, lived and loved life to the fullest. One of the greatest human beings I've ever had the pleasure the pleasure of meeting

Jaime Guttenberg, my amazing 14 year old Sister. I write this as I sit at her dance competition and watch all the dances she SHOULD be in. She had so much ahead of her. https://t.co/ZprZBTIcDP

Only a fraction of a fraction of the wonderful people who are connected through tragedy but remembered through community 🧡

Thank you again to @DelegateATW and @PKPokuaa for showing their support and talking to students yesterday at ERHS Day of Solutions!

An issue of great concern here at ERHS is mental health resources, with only five students feel they have enough access (of the people who responded). How would you address this issue? We need change.

[RaidersRiseUp @Raiders_RiseUp]

Most students feel more officers would not make them feel safer. Reply with your solutions!

[RaidersRiseUp @Raiders_RiseUp]

Most students believe that arming teachers is not the solution. Teachers have enough to do trying to teach us complicated subjects. To have them responsible for shooting an active shooter is an unsustainable idea. What do you think about this? What is your solution?

[RaidersRiseUp @Raiders_RiseUp]

According to our Day of Solutions, students feel that our lockdown procedure seriously needs revised to keep us safe. Reply with how you would revise our procedures!

[RaidersRiseUp @Raiders_RiseUp]

We have a school with great security officers, but the number of people not sure if they feel safe at ERHS is concerning. Let's all be at the discussion table. Our voices are needed to fix these problems.

[Pokuaa Owusu-Acheaw @PKPokuaa]

It was truly an honor to meet with @Raiders_RiseUp at ERHS yesterday to discuss school safety, mental health, and gun reform. These students are impressive and give me hope for the future! Keep up the hard work! https://t.co/QQ9KCKmWeT
