Another school & another community devastated by gun violence. My heart goes out to Santa Fe, TX & Santa Fe High School students, teachers & parents. As I’ve said before, parents should be able to drop their kids off at school & expect them to come home safe. It’s that simple.

How Parkland survivors responded to today’s school shooting
shooting
Emma González@Emma4ChangeSanta Fe High, you didn’t deserve this. You deserve peace all your lives, not just after a tombstone saying that is put over you. You deserve more than Thoughts and Prayers, and after supporting us by walking out we will be there to support you by raising up your voices.
David Hogg@davidhogg111Get ready for two weeks of media coverage of politicians acting like they give a shit when in reality they just want to boost their approval ratings before midterms.
Cameron Kasky@cameron_kaskyAt least 8 students have been shot and killed at Santa Fe High School. Prepare to watch the NRA boast about getting higher donations. Prepare to see students rise up and be called ‘civil terrorists’ and crisis actors. Prepare for the right-wing media to attack the survivors.
Jaclyn Corin@JaclynCorinMy heart is so heavy for the students of Santa Fe High School. It’s an all too familiar feeling no one should have to experience. I am so sorry this epidemic touched your town – Parkland will stand with you now and forever.
