ENOUGH! Plays to End Gun Violence 🟧

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.

[evan is creative @evanaustinauthr]

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.

Children’s Mercy is treating 12 patients from the rally. 11 are children. 9 have gunshot wounds, per Lisa Augustine, Senior Manager, Media Relations Children’s Mercy Kansas City.

I’m at a loss for words.

[Rich Eisen @richeisen]

Nine children.

Nine children who went to a parade to celebrate their Super Bowl team.

Nine children now being treated for gunshot wounds @ChildrensMercy

When are we going to collectively realize there’s a gun problem in our country and do something sensible for our kids?

[Newtown Action Alliance ❌👑 @NewtownAction]

Breaking: Another mass shooting in America on the 6-year mark of the Parkland tragedy. This time at a high school in Atlanta, Georgia.

[Awful Announcing @awfulannouncing]

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..."

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

"IT"S THE FUCKING GUNS!"

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

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.

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
