the Lockdown Generation

Tomorrow will mark 24 years since the Columbine shooting. There have been more than 370 school shootings since. We're calling on our top supporters to raise their voices for change. Please, will you respond now? Should Congress take action on school shootings? [YES]( [NO]( Missing response from {EMAIL} | 11:59 p.m. deadline {NAME}, when the gunmen at Columbine pulled out rifles, nearby students and teachers ignored them, seeing nothing more than paintball guns — until the spray of bullets hit them. In 20 minutes, that innocence was brutally taken away from the students of Columbine, changing our country forever. Today, when a school shooting happens, no one assumes it's a prank or a fake gun. Because every student from 1st grade to high school has feared, practiced for, and anticipated this moment. In America, shootings and gun violence are as intrinsic to school as homework or recess. The children sitting in schools today are part of a generation that our leaders have created through their spineless inaction — a Lockdown Generation. Here at Brady, we refuse to accept that this is how life has to be for our children. If you're with us in this fight, will you respond to our live poll now to call on Congress to end the Lockdown Generation? Should Congress take action on school shootings? [YES]( [NO]( Missing response from {EMAIL} | 11:59 p.m. deadline At least 199 children and school employees have died in school shootings during the 24 years since Columbine. Gun violence is now the number one cause of death for children and teens in the U.S. But instead of taking action, the NRA's pocket politicians have chosen to do nothing time and time again — after Sandy Hook, after Parkland, after Nashville, after every school shooting since Columbine. It's up to us to finally break this cycle. That's why, before tomorrow, we're calling on gun violence advocates from all across this country to make their voices heard for change. Please, will you respond to our live survey before midnight tomorrow to demand action from Washington? We can only win a safer, brighter future if we all unite together. Should Congress take action on school shootings? [YES]( [NO]( Thank you for making your voice heard, Team Brady {NAME}, thank you for supporting Brady.
