This is not normal: Lockdown drills and bulletproof backpacks are not an inevitable part of going to school.
Back to school should be an exciting time when students are reuniting with friends and their favorite teachers.
Sadly, back to school is overshadowed by the threat of gun violence for students, parents, and educators across America.
We demand that our elected leaders take urgent action to prevent gun violence in our schools and communities by passing life-saving gun safety laws, opposing the gun lobby's agenda, and standing up to the Trump administration's gun extremism.
