(1/7) Meet #GenerationLockdown: the made-in-America student generation begging to survive the school day. Join us on March 24th in DC alongside students, survivors, victims & educators impacted by school shootings as we demand Congress uphold our right to education, unthreatened. 
(2/7) Only in America will the same student survive a mass shooting in elementary school and again in college. Since Columbine occurred in 1999, nearly 350,000 students have experienced gun violence in school in America. Schools should be safe spaces, not warzones.
(3/7) We’re demanding the Senate vote on S.25, the federal assault weapons ban, ASAP. Our survival in school depends on it. You can find us Friday, March 24 @ 11 am at Union Square in Washington, D.C
🚨RALLY TOMORROW 🚨
We’ll be with @GiffordsCourage, @Everytown, @bradybuzz + more on the steps of the Supreme Court. The fight for freedom from gun violence is not just happening in our streets and in Congress – it’s also happening in the courts.

The @NRA has an extremist and wrong interpretation of the Second Amendment that makes all other rights subordinate to it. They’re pushing the Supreme Court to take that further, using the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. City of New York case to do so.
We submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court that shares 9 personal stories from young people who represent #GenerationLockdown, where gun violence and mass shootings are the new normal. Here’s what they said:

We send strength & support to the state of Colorado & the Highlands Ranch community after today’s #StemShooting.
Nobody should experience this type of fear, not on our streets or in our schools.
We must work together to put an end to #GenerationLockdown.

Our leaders are quick to write these horrors off as “the price of freedom.”
A price too often paid by the lives of America’s children.
The @senatemajldr & @POTUS must address the growing epidemic that is gun violence. #StemShooting
