Enough Is Enough: How Students Can Join the Fight for Gun Safety

e-book


From award-winning author Michelle Roehm McCann comes a young activistā€™s handbook to joining the fight against gun violenceā€”both in your community and on a national levelā€”to make schools safer for everyone.

Young people are suffering the most from the epidemic of gun violenceā€”as early as kindergarten students are crouching behind locked doors during active shooter drills. Teens are galvanizing to speak up and fight for their right to be safe. They donā€™t just want to get involved, they want to change the world. Enough Is Enough is a call to action for teens ready to lend their voices to the gun violence prevention movement. This handbook deftly explains Americaā€™s gun violence issuesā€”myths and facts, causes and perpetrators, solutions and change-makersā€”and provides a road map for effective activism.

Told in three parts, Enough Is Enough also explores how America got to this point and the obstacles we must overcome, including historical information about the Second Amendment, the history of guns in America, and an overview of the NRA. Informative chapters include interviews with teens who have survived gun violence and student activists who are launching their own movements across the country. Additionally, the book includes a Q&A with gun owners who support increased gun safety laws.
