SUMMARY:National Day of Action for Safe Schools
DESCRIPTION:Enough is enough! We can no longer abide the status quo where our children may be unsafe in our schools\, and our communities torn apart by senseless violence. Join in\, do something! March\, call your legislators\, organize\, and demand action that ensures the safety and security of our children. This does not mean adding guns in our schools or more security measures – those things do not work. What we need are more counselors in our schools! What we need is time in our classrooms to help our children learn interpersonal communication skills. What we need is the opposite of what has been done thus far!\nThe date and time for this event corresponds to the 19th anniversary of the 1999 Columbine School Massacre – the first mass school shooting\, that should have been the last. Let’s join together and do everything we can to make sure this never happens again.

SUMMARY:Enough! National School Walkout
DESCRIPTION:Women’s March Youth EMPOWER is calling for students\, teachers\, school administrators\, parents and allies to take part in a #NationalSchoolWalkout for 17 minutes at 10am across every time zone on March 14\, 2018 to protest Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods. We need action. Students and allies are organizing the national school walkout to demand Congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun violence at our schools\, on our streets and in our homes and places of worship.\nStudents and staff have the right to teach and learn in an environment free from the worry of being gunned down in their classrooms or on their way home from school.\nParents have the right to send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of the day.\nWe are not safe at school. We are not safe in our cities and towns. Congress must take meaningful action to keep us safe and pass federal gun reform legislation that address the public health crisis of gun violence. We want Congress to pay attention and take note: many of us will vote this November and many others will join in 2020.\nJoin us in saying #ENOUGH!\nAdd your event to the map or find one near you here: https://www.actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/enough-national-school-walkout

SUMMARY:NJ Democracy Act Letter Writing Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Join Flipping Districts for our first meeting of the year to learn about the state of play in key NJ Congressional Districts and the importance of passing the NJ Democracy Act in 2018 which will improve access to the ballot.\nThe crucial November mid-term elections are now only nine months away. At our meeting\, we’ll review the current situation in key New Jersey Congressional races\, including:\n·  NJ11\, where Rodney Frelinghuysen recently announced his retirement after more than 20 years of representing the district. It’s always easier to win an open seat! Even so\, Cook Political Report has kept this race classified as a “toss up” – suggesting it’s still likely to be highly competitive.\n·  NJ7\, where Leonard Lance will face one of seven people running in a crowded field for the Democratic nomination. The Democratic candidates will face off in a primary on June 5.\nCome and discuss these and other key races and talk through priorities for our group for the next nine months.\nOnce we talk through these races\, we’ll spend the last part of our meeting writing letters to our state legislators to encourage them to pass the Democracy Act. This pending legislation will allow for early in-person voting\, online registration\, and other reforms to make it easier to vote in New Jersey. This important legislation will help ensure a high turnout in these key Congressional races later this year. We’ll have everything you’ll need for your letters\, including supplies\, addresses\, and talking points.
