This Friday, 6/1, is Gun Violence Awareness Day. National PTA is a partner in Everytown for Gun Safety’s Wear Orange Weekend, a weekend where people all over the country will show their support for gun violence prevention both online and at community events. Here’s their link: https://wearorange.org/about/
Take a picture of yourself in your orange and post on social media using the hashtags #PTAProud #Enough and #EndGunViolence. Wouldn’t it be cool to see your councils and locals getting involved as well?
I’ve been trying to find some different resources for you. I have compiled some in this email.
For those of you that have held your conventions – here’s a debrief exercise to use if you haven’t done so already
