On February 14th, 2018 the Parkland community lost 17 lives in a tragic and preventable act of gun violence. Everything we have done and everything we will do is for them. #MSDStrong
Today we mourn 26 lives ripped away too early. Six years ago, Sandy Hook Elementary School was devastated, and the community forever changed. It is a pain we know all too well. Newtown, then and always, we stand with you.
Sorry that we have been so inactive lately but coming up this week we will have some things for you to make a difference over break, but for now everyone at MFOL msu is wishing good luck to all students at msu taking exams next week!
GUT-WRENCHING: @Time describes life for some whose children died in school shootings:
"The days and months that follow a child’s murder can resemble a kind of fugue state. Many find themselves slipping back into old routines, designed around a child who is no longer there."
Let’s #endgunviolencetogether - go to https://t.co/GGhOhKlrVN to send your representative a postcard demanding they take action on what more than 90% of Americans agree on: universal background checks.

This Saturday!!! From MFOL Grand Rapids to @AbdulElSayed we will have students, survivors, activists, and politicians speaking about how we need to hold lawmakers accountable. For more updates and info check out @SDAOakMac
Yet another horrific shooting and every news outlet runs a profile piece on the shooter. Media must hold itself responsible for creating legacies and motives for these individuals. STOP USING THEIR NAME. Localize coverage to affected communities/ families and control this.
Our hearts are with Thousand Oaks today, but when will this end? Something must be done. We must chose love over violence so today we ask that you send some love towards Thousand Oaks, and you continue to fight for them in the days to come.
This must come to an end.
We all made history with the largest youth turnout in 25 years!
We will perpetuate this life saving conversation until we eradicate gun violence and have morally just leaders in office.
Thanks to all the young people that have supported us since the beginning. We will win!
