ENOUGH: National School Walkout
Women’s March Youth EMPOWER
is calling for students, teachers, school administrators, parents and allies to
take part in a #NationalSchoolWalkout for 17 minutes at 10am across every time
zone on March 14, 2018 to protest Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet
thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and
neighborhoods. We need action. Students and allies are organizing the national
school walkout to demand Congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun
violence at our schools, on our streets and in our homes and places of worship.
Students and staff have the
right to teach and learn in an environment free from the worry of being gunned
down in their classrooms or on their way home from school.
Parents have the right to
send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of
the day.
We are not safe at school. We
are not safe in our cities and towns. Congress must take meaningful action to
keep us safe and pass federal gun reform legislation that address the public
health crisis of gun violence. We want Congress to pay attention and take note:
many of us will vote this November and many others will join in 2020.
Join us in saying #ENOUGH!
