“I’m Not Afraid of COVID-19. I’m Afraid of School Shootings.
I’m eager to get back to the classroom, but my fear is overcoming my excitement.”

"We have seen what our government is capable of doing to protect lives during this global health crisis," Vedika Jawa wrote in 2021. "So the question remains: Why is coming together to take action on gun control so difficult?" https://t.co/5z58NS6lsv
OPINION: "As the court takes away fundamental rights, it is also taking away our democracy," writes @DuncanHosie, a civil rights lawyer and writer. https://t.co/89etMT8AjN
"Nearly 4,000 more Americans were killed in gun homicides or non-suicide-related shootings in 2020 than in 2019. And I’m worried that once we all start going back to class, mass shootings will return to our schools," Vedika Jawa writes: https://t.co/3ZpkFJSe7i

It's now gone viral. Tonight on @wfaa, you'll get to hear from her about everything that's happened since.
@RepRoKhanna If you would be interested in addressing the high schoolers in this virtual town hall, I would love to talk to you about it in more detail
@RepRoKhanna Hearing these different thoughts and views, I thought it may be beneficial to conduct a "virtual town hall" specifically for high schoolers in Fremont and neighboring cities.
@RepRoKhanna After talking to my peers, I noticed that many of them, like me were affected by this shooting and had their own opinions as what could be done to improve this issue.
@RepRoKhanna The recent shooting at San Jose was a tragic even that resulted in the loss of innocent lives and was a wake up call to many about the major issue that exists in our country today: gun violence.
@RepRoKhanna Dear Congressman Ro Khanna,
Thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot coming from you as you have been one of my role models. I admire your passion and determination to fight against racial injustice, housing insecurity, and gun violence.
Today @vimeo is a public company.
It has been a 16-year labor of love, rooted in our belief in the power of video. We put creators first, and put that power in the hands of millions.
To everyone who made today possible: Thank you 💙
Now we keep building. #VMEO
"We know that they're going through a really difficult time at this moment. And so, we just want to add a little bit of joy in their lives and show them that they're cared for and loved."

Vedika Jawa's mission to sweeten the lives of those in need began when she was just 13, on a family trip to San Francisco. She could not help but see the multitudes living on the streets.
