Change.org Petition: Universal background check on gun sales

Content Warning: The following contains reference to guns and mass shootings. Two weeks ago, a gunman opened fire in a Buffalo grocery store killing 10 people in what is being investigated as a racially motivated attack. Yesterday, a different gunman opened fire in a Texas elementary school killing 19 children and one teacher. This petition—started by a foundation that was created in honor of a Parkland shooting victim in 2018—is urging the U.S. government to pass universal background checks for gun sales immediately.

This year, 3,044 students aren’t going to graduate because they were killed by a gun. That’s 3,044 kids who won’t be walking across a stage to receive a diploma. 3,044 kids who won’t go on to become doctors, teachers, lawyers, or artists. 3,044 kids who never got to pursue their dreams. They are The Lost Class.  Graduation season is meant to symbolize potential. But for so many families, graduation season is a reminder of all the lost potential. That’s why we need to work together to make sure we don’t continue to lose more graduates to guns. Join Change the Ref and the fight to pass universal background checks on all gun sales by signing this petition calling on the United States Congress to pass it into law. Let’s ensure that the futures of our students and our country remain bright and full of possibility.
