https://momsdemandaction.org/marie-g-delus-history-will-remember-us-moms-our-legacies-are-being-written/
Nearly 10 years since joining Moms Demand Action, Marie G. Delus continues advocating for gun violence prevention to save lives.

Gun Violence-What we do

https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/arms-control/gun-violence/#:~:text=Community%2Dwide%20gun%20violence%20may,caused%20by%20suicide%20and%20accidents.
Overview:
Gun violence is a daily scourge that threatens our most fundamental right: the right to life. More than 600 people die every day as a result of firearms violence, which is driven in part by easy access to firearms – whether legal or illegal.
Anyone can be affected by gun violence, but it often disproportionately impacts people of colour, men and boys in deprived communities, and other marginalized groups. Domestic violence involving firearms also puts women at heightened risk of death or life-changing injuries.
Sometimes, the mere presence of firearms can make people feel threatened and fearful for their lives. They may be too afraid to attend schools or health facilities. Community-wide gun violence may prevent services from fully functioning, which can harm access to education or healthcare.
The vast majority of gun violence occurs outside of armed conflict settings. A significant proportion – in some states more than half – of firearm deaths are caused by suicide and accidents.
Our human rights are not protected if our leaders fail to tackle and end the epidemic of gun violence and gun deaths.

Gun Violence-Kansas City

Six years ago today at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, 17 students and school staff were shot and killed, and 17 more were wounded.
And yesterday marks one year since the deadly mass shooting at Michigan State University, where three students were shot and killed and five others wounded.
And today in Atlanta, four students were shot and wounded after school in the parking lot.
And just hours ago, another community was terrorized by gun violence: At the Super Bowl Championship parade in Kansas City, where at least one person was killed and many wounded.

Five NIU Students Remembered through Forward Together Forward Scholarship

16 years later, five students who tragically lost their lives in a shooting on NIU's campus are remembered. The university's "Forward, Together, Forward" scholarship will continue their legacy and keep their memories alive.
