Woburn Memorial High School Walk Out
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!
