It’s OFFICIAL: There are now more than 500 Students Demand Action groups in high schools and colleges across the country!

This powerful grassroots movement exists because of you and your dedication to a future free from gun violence. Thank you for doing this work with us!

California could become the first state to require schools to send secure firearm storage information home to parents and guardians. @MomsDemand & @StudentsDemand have been advocating for secure storage resolutions for years. This would be major progress.

When everyone is armed, no one is safe. Time and time again, we see that “good guys” don’t stand a chance against hateful men armed with arsenals and death wishes.

More guns in more places don’t make us safer—and we have a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations to prove it.

Our hearts are with Jayland's family. They deserve accountability.

[Students Demand Action @StudentsDemand]

Jayland Walker was only 25 years old. He was shot and killed by eight Akron police officers last week, and suffered at least 60 gunshot wounds.

Too many young Black people have had their lives cut short by police. Enough is enough. A traffic stop shouldn't be a death sentence.

[Everytown @Everytown]

Police are nearly three times more likely to shoot and kill Black Americans than white Americans—and in Ohio, almost five times. It’s past time for life-saving changes to be made to our systems of policing.

Jayland should be alive today. His family deserves accountability.

[Everytown @Everytown]

Jayland Walker, a former standout high school wrestler and DoorDash driver with aspirations to start his own business, was only 25 years old when he was shot and killed by Akron police officers last week following a traffic violation. He suffered at least 60 gunshot wounds.

[Moms Demand Action @MomsDemand]

Celebratory gunfire is no joke. Each year, innocent bystanders pay the price for this highly irresponsible and dangerous practice.

Remember, what goes up must come down. Say NO to celebratory gunfire, and pass it on!

[Everytown @Everytown]

Congress isn’t where this work begins—it’s where it ends. This victory has been years in the making. Years of knocking on doors, calling voters, showing up to statehouses, and shifting the culture around gun safety in America one conversation at a time.

MAJOR VICTORY FOR GUN SAFETY: The Senate just passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act! When it becomes law, this legislation will save lives.

The passage of this bill is a critical step forward for the nation after decades without meaningful federal action. #GunLawsSaveLives

📸 Our volunteers have gathered at the US Capitol to witness history in the making as the US Senate prepares to take major action on gun safety for the first time in 26 years! #GunLawsSaveLives

[Everytown @Everytown]

MAJOR: A bipartisan supermajority of 65 senators just voted to move the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act one step closer to a floor vote—putting us even closer to getting this historic gun safety legislation across the finish line. https://t.co/8dVDX5fSyr

Today's #SCOTUS ruling in NYSRPA v Bruen is wrong and dangerous – but it is also limited to the constitutionality of one aspect of New York’s law on the public carry of firearms, with immediate implications for only a handful of other states.
