Organizers want to shake political leaders into action on gun control.
A yearbook that commemorates last year's victims of gun violence in educational institutions will be sent to President Donald Trump, 2020 presidential candidates and U.S. senators and governors in a bid to jolt the country's political leadership into action on gun control.
An appearance in the annual school publication is normally a rite of passage for young people who have their futures ahead of them, but the group behind the 2018 Yearbook say their aim is to remind people how such futures can be cut short.It marks every death that occurred last year in a K-12 school, university or on a school bus or vehicle, while school was in session or during a school-sponsored event.
People place flowers near the Sandy Hook Elementary School December 15, 2012 in Sandy Hook, Connecticut for the 28 children and faculty shot and killed one day earlier on December 14, 2012. One of the victims’ mothers announced that a yearbook would commemorate the school victims of gun crime.The project was announced this week by nonprofits COMMON, Search for Common Ground, Amani Project and Scarlett Lewis, whose son was killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
