Pledge to vote for candidates who will take action to end the violence.

Since the massacre at Columbine, more than 200 students, teachers and school staff have lost their lives in school shootings. And more than 187,000 students have been traumatized by gun violence in their schools. Millions more are terrorized by the daily gun violence in our communities—especially in communities of color.

The Supreme Court has issued a 5-4 decision in Janus v. AFSCME, overturning 41 years of precedent. Betsy DeVos, Donald Trump and the Koch Brothers are already doing a victory lap. The best way to take the wind out of their sails is to show the world that despite their attacks, we’re sticking together. Take the pledge right now and let them know you’re sticking with the union.
