Your elected officials need to hear why gun violence prevention is important to you. We've created this story-sharing feature so elected officials can hear directly from you, in your own words. We want to hear if:

• You've been personally or indirectly affected by a school shooting.
• You have a child in school, and you are concerned about their safety.
• You're a teacher or administrator and need better safety measures at your school.
• As a community member, you care about school safety and the impact of gun violence.

We plan to share these messages with elected officials who could make a difference in the gun violence epidemic. It will only take a few minutes, but your story could change the trajectory in the fight to end gun violence.

We need your voice to make a change.
