We at MomsRising are both heartbroken that young people are having to fight for their own safety because our national leadership hasn't stood up for kids yet; and incredibly proud of the young people who are stepping forward for gun safety.

Let's back them up!

We at MomsRising are thrilled that more than one action is being planned to keep up the drum beat for change. It’s going to take all of us, and many different tactics and organizations working together to move our nation toward gun safety. We are up against some tremendous forces, but together we are unstoppable.
