Supported by more than 40 organizations, the National Day of Action Against Gun Violence in Schools takes place on the 19th Anniversary of the shooting at Columbine, where 12 students and one teacher lost their lives. In the time since, 187,000 students have been exposed to gun violence at their school during the school day. That’s equivalent to the population of Salt Lake City.

We are taking action on April 20 to support our students and continue the momentum created by the March for Our Lives event last month.
