National School Walkout

Our lives. Our movement.

It's no longer if, but when. #STEMShooting

[David Hogg 🟧 @davidhogg111]

I’ve been extremely hesitant to say this because I don’t want to see it happen but I feel like I have to- let me be clear I’m not an expert but I’m deeply worried we could be on the edge of something far worse happening than we’ve already seen. I’m worried it will if we don’t act

[Zara Rahim @ZaraRahim]

insane how the only notable change since Sandy Hook is that kids are now formally trained to hide, barricade doors, fight, or run for their lives. that was the solution. to literally put the responsibility on them to figure it out and wish them luck.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Imagine being 9 years old, and watching your friend get shot through the nose and collapse dead in front of you.

The headline, for good reason, is the number of kids dead. But a huge part of the story, in shooting after shooting, is the lifetime of trauma for the survivors.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is true. Because the executive branch only has so much authority. Only Congress can close the gaping loopholes in our background checks system.

Finally.

[NPR @NPR]

President Biden has announced a series of actions aimed at regulating certain firearms and curbing violence — calling U.S. gun violence an "epidemic" and "an international embarrassment."

[March For Our Lives- Parkland @MFOLParkland]

Thank you for this Governor but we still need your action. What are you doing to prevent the next massacre? What are you doing to prevent gun violence in Florida? Thoughts and prayers don't help.

[Rachel Janfaza @racheljanfaza]

In the days since the Capitol lockdown, I spoke with survivors of school shootings & gun violence prevention activists about the trauma of witnessing a lockdown.

It's a reality many students in America are familiar with.

This is what they told me: https://t.co/xE9loF7pfm

[Asher Vollmer @AsherVo]

I did not fully appreciate the issue with "most cops don't live in the neighborhood they police" until seeing this

[National School Walkout @schoolwalkoutUS]

Defund the police.
Dismantle the police.
They are a racist system.

[John Kerr @JohnnyHeatWave]

i made some slight adjustments to tucker carlson’s monologue about protesters

[National School Walkout @schoolwalkoutUS]

Important thread:

[Angus Johnston @studentactivism]

Police attacking protesters and press without cause tonight in cities around the country. Over and over.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

NYPD officers just drove an SUV into a crowd of human beings. They could‘ve killed them, &we don’t know how many they injured.

NO ONE gets to slam an SUV through a crowd of human beings.

@NYCMayor these officers need to be brought to justice, not dismissed w/“internal reviews.”

[Martin Luther King III @OfficialMLK3]

As my father explained during his lifetime, a riot is the language of the unheard.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

THE PRESIDENT THREATENED TO SHOOT THE PEOPLE HE’S SUPPOSED TO SERVE.

.@lanemurdock2002 you are amazing

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

I have never met @lanemurdock2002 but I hope one day I do. What an amazing young woman. Lane, thank you for your incredibly strong voice. I will fight with you to ensure you grow up in a world where we are seeing true gun safety and reductions in the gun violence death rate🧡🧡

[National School Walkout @schoolwalkoutUS]

@WillHaskellCT @lanemurdock2002 That's our founder! 🙌🏼

[Will Haskell @WillHaskellCT]

I ran for a seat in the Capitol so that I could bring others with me. Today, in a room packed with gun enthusiasts, @lanemurdock2002 brought her powerful voice to the gun violence prevention conversation. I’ll cede my time to Lane any day.
