Dear Friends,
The rise in gun violence on campuses, only weeks into the school year, is a sobering reminder of the urgent need for action. We invite you to a timely webinar, A Call for Safe Schools: Youth and Educator Voices Leading the Way, where young leaders and educators will share their experiences and insights into keeping schools safe in the face of this crisis.
This one-hour webinar will feature a powerful panel of advocates, educators, and students who are working every day to prevent gun violence in Texas schools. You’ll hear from:
- Milan Narayan (he/him) – Moderator and Policy Intern, Texas Gun Sense
- Abbey Clements (she/her) – Executive Director, Co-Founder, and Board Member of Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence, and survivor of the Sandy Hook tragedy
- Ayaan Moledina (he/him) – Federal Policy Director at Students Engaged in Advancing Texas (SEAT); Executive Council Member at Team ENOUGH
- Carrie Griffith (she/her) – Policy Specialist, Texas State Teachers Association (TSTA)/National Education Association (NEA)
- Sneha Kesavan (she/her) – Co-Founder of UT Austin Students Demand Action; Executive Council Member at Team ENOUGH
Together, they will discuss the challenges of school safety, offer tangible solutions, and explain how you can help protect students and educators. Now, more than ever, it’s critical for all of us to be informed and take action.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation.
We hope to see you there! Thank you for being part of the community demanding accountability and change.
In solidarity,
Garrett Chase (he/him)
