How you have the power to prevent tragedy
You have the means to stop gun violence in your community. We know how to identify threats and train citizens to prevent and aid in mass shooting situations. It’s up to community leaders to provide these resources. Knowledge improves the odds of preventing tragedy in your town or organization, will save lives in a crisis and will speed healing if the worse happens. Knowledge reduces fear and stress.
Stop looking for a single answer.
There are no one-size-fits-all solutions to end shootings in America, but there are many things to be done, and it will take everyone working together to bring change.
Before: Teach prevention
Anyone can learn to spot the signs of instability that might lead to gun violence. Everyone can be taught to take simple measures to reduce the chances of shooting just like we prepare for fires or wear seatbelts. Training and education can dramatically reduce the odds of tragedy.
During: Teach what to do
If an active shooter event should happen in your community, knowing exactly what to do can make the difference between life and death.
