Advocacy Day

Remembering Gun Violence Victims

It's frighteningly easy to forget that 100 Americans are killed every day as a result of gun violence. Following the mass shootings in El Paso Texas and Dayton Ohio, North Metro Atlanta Students Demand Action hosted a candlelight vigil to honor the lives of all those who are killed because of this epidemic.
