A group of more than five Students Demand Action volunteers walk through an office hallway on Advocacy Day in Richmond.

We’re headed back to school for the new year and we’re more prepared than ever to return to organizing in our schools, on our college campuses, and in our communities. Whether you have five minutes to take action per week or five hours, there are so many things you can do to take action to end gun violence. There’s no better time to get started than a new school year!
