Earlier today at noon, Open High School students walked out in protest of gun violence and advocated for gun control.

NBC Channel 12 covered the protest. From their report:

This was part of a nationwide movement organized by Students Demand Action. Three 11th graders: Lucy James Howlett, Kai James and Rose Woodward organized the 30-minute protest at the school.

They said while district has taken steps to make campus safer, like metal detectors and clear backpacks, it’s those very measures that remind students just how unsafe the world can be.

There have been 44 school shootings so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive, Education Week and Everytown for Gun Safety. A recent report from the CDC shows that firearms were the leading cause of death for children and teens in 2020 and 2021.

“The student body is very aware of the nation’s issues, political issues,” James said.
