When this school year began, many families focused on readjusting to a new normal. Ensuring that our students and teachers were healthy and ready for the school year ahead. We all were optimistic and up for the challenge! Instead, our students are currently facing weekly threats due to gun violence and active school shootings. National PTA recognizes the recent school shootings and events due to gun violence. No parent should have to fear for the safety of their child once they leave home. Unfortunately, lives are continuously being lost or changed forever due to a lack of gun violence prevention laws. PTA calls on Congress and the Administration to immediately address the many factors that contribute to the rampant gun violence in the United States. Contact your Representative and Senator today to insist that our country needs sensible solutions to gun violence and gun violence prevention. |
