Increase School Violence Prevention
After the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Florida, bipartisan legislators from both sides of the aisle came together to prevent school shootings by passing the STOP School Violence Act. It supports and funds lifesaving violence prevention programs. Because of this law, students around the country have access to no-cost suicide prevention and violence prevention training.
Every year, Sandy Hook Promise Action Fund asks Congress to continue funding this program. Without the STOP School Violence Act, more children are at risk. You can help make sure your elected officials support school safety.

Among the mass shootings in Washington was a tragic killing in Vancouver.

Authorities were called to the house after the suspected shooter texted someone and indicated that he had “harmed others” there.
