Every year 38,000 people die of gun violence. 100+ people per day. 187,000 students exposed to gun violence since Columbine in 1999. @LGostin opens the event. #parkland #oneillinstitute
"The prospect of returning to school had us all on edge. On one hand, we wanted to go back to normal. But on the other hand, what is normal anymore?" - #ParklandStudents Dara Jaffe delivers opening remarks at the #secondamendment and #publichealth panel. #parkland #parklandstrong
Arming teachers is not what any #parkland student wants. Adding more guns isn't going to fix the issue. - Dara Jaffe #ParklandStudents #ParklandStrong
"I want my generation to be the last group of young people to have to march on Washington to change gun laws" - #DaraJaffe #parkland #ParklandStrong #ParklandStudentsSpeak
"We have to always remember that the meaning of the #SecondAmendment is self-defense." - Trevor Burrus of @CatoInstitute.
The biggest connection between mental health and gun violence is suicide. It's a preventable cause of death. There's a big piece we're missing. We have enough info to make a big impact if we have the will to do it-- @GUMedicine's Liza Gold #parkland #2ndamendment #publichealth
Dara Jaffe describes the trauma of experiencing gun violence: everyone jumps at loud noises, knocks on the door are terrifying. "The odds of it happening at the same school twice are low, but what were the odds the first time." Powerful conversation on the #2ndAmendment.
"You either become silent and live in fear, or you fight to make change." - Scott Novak, who lost 2 friends in the #PulseNightclubShooting, talks about what it means to be advocate.
At @MomsDemand, we hold government leaders accountable. If they're not doing what they're supposed to be doing to keep our kids safe, then we need new ones! - Katie Whitaker #gunviolence #2ndAmendment
