This week is National Gun Violence Survivors Week, a time when we come together to honor and uplift survivors of gun violence. The gun industry must be held accountable for the nation of gun violence survivors they have created.
That’s why I, along with my fellow Students Demand Action volunteers across the country, are demanding that gun manufacturers take sensible steps to stop producing AR-15s and similar assault weapons with high-capacity magazines, prioritize safety over lethality in their products, and avoid partnering with untrustworthy dealers. We’re also calling on our colleges and universities to divest from the gun industry.
