We call on TEENS to write 10-MIN PLAYS confronting the issue of GUN VIOLENCE, and use those plays to spark critical conversations and inspire action nationwide.
Saw a handful of plays last night, written by American teens, about gun violence.
These same plays were performed in 31 states on the same day. @enoughplays
Major themes: they feel targeted, despairing, and unheard by law enforcement and politicians.
Every. Hour. A child is shot in America.

When are we going to collectively realize there’s a gun problem in our country and do something sensible for our kids?
Marcus Spears, with some very pointed remarks about the shooting during the Kanas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade:
"When I first heard it, you know what I thought, unfortunately, is this is who we are. This is who we are. So, now the ever-revolving cycle is going to start. The news outlets will talk about gun control. They'll have politicians from either side to talk about what needs to be done....And then we'll have a 'prayer's up,' I'm sure that's what's happening right now..."
BREAKING: Several people have reportedly been shot at Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri following the Chiefs Super Bowl Parade. Two armed suspects are in custody.
As we wait for more information, here’s what we do know: We can’t keep living this way.
Introducing The Shotline, a platform where the voices of victims killed by gun violence have been brought back using AI technology. Now those voices can call our representatives again and again in hopes of changing our gun laws. Visit https://t.co/auVUBZkXnC to send a call.
We remember the 17 lives cut short 6 years ago by a senseless act of violence, the wounds - both visible and invisible - that continue to heal, & the courage of many to honor their loved ones and all impacted by turning their pain into purpose through powerful action. #msdstrong
