13 | ON THE DAY | On the day of the march, we want to show the world the scale of the gun violence prevention movement by showcasing Dems Abroad's support of marches around the world. In order to do that, we need folks at all the local marches to post photos and video from their marches on social media during the event with the #MarchForOurLives and #DAResists hashtag and the city where you're marching. See "Sheet 2" to reiew other hashtags and people to tag. Be sure to have a PLAN in advance so that you know who is posting about what, when. Just planning to "I'll post things when they come up" will be more difficult once you are there on the ground. What to post: Behind the scenes moments; Photos of the march; Fun or poignant march signs; Photos of the crowd to show scale; Candid images of people having a good time; Pics of voter registration; Video clips of the march; highlights from others (with your own added commentary) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

29 | Children should never have to flee their schools, should never have to take to the street to beg for protection, for safety -- a chance to grow up. But since that's the reality, #DemsAbroad supports #MarchForOurLives. #NeverAgain | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
30 | Americans - including those abroad - overwhelmingly support common sense gun laws that protect our friends and families from gun violence. #DAResists | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
31 | Too many people have accepted the normalcy of mass slaughter as a necessary sacrifice to an amendment that was written when guns held one bullet. #Enough | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
32 | Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The#neveragain kids who will #MarchForOurLives ARE going to win. Just like the kids who sat at the lunch counter in 1963 Just like the kids who marched to end the war. Together we will beat this. #Enough. #DAResists | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
33 | What does it take for a kid to buy a $50 handgun? About $50. #DAResists | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
34 | Normal things kids can be afraid of at school: pop quizzes, school dances, gym class. Not a shooting spree. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
35 | As a civilized nation, shouldn’t we be protecting our children more than we’re protecting our guns? #DAResists | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
36 | Ask yourself if this is really what we as Americans meant by putting our children first? #MarchforOurLives #DAResists | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
37 | Too many children are still being killed or injured by gun violence. Isn’t it time to demand more common sense ways to protect them? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
38 | You don’t have to be an adult to know you don’t want to be shot. You don't have to be an adult to change things. #Enough. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

40 | Same Australia. Same: "It is incomprehensible to us, that a country so proud and so great allows itself to be savaged again & again by its citizens." #guncontrolnow #ENOUGH #DAResists http://www.smh.com.au/comment/smh-editorial/sadly-us-will-not-learn-from-latest-carnage-20171003-gytirg.html | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
41 | How to get a gun in Japan: To get a gun in Japan, first, you have to attend an all-day class and pass a written test, which are held only once per month. You also must take and pass a shooting range class. Then, head over to a hospital for a mental test and drug test (Japan is unusual in that potential gun owners must affirmatively prove their mental fitness), which you’ll file with the police. Finally, pass a rigorous background check for any criminal record or association with criminal or extremist groups, and you will be the proud new owner of your shotgun or air rifle. Just don’t forget to provide police with documentation on the specific location of the gun in your home, as well as the ammo, both of which must be locked and stored separately. And remember to have the police inspect the gun once per year and to re-take the class and exam every three years. Japan had 11 gun deaths in 2008, the U.S. had 12,000. #GuncontrolNOW #DAResists | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

51 | A responsible NRA would be working for universal background checks. A safety-conscious NRA would be working for thorough training requirements for concealed carry permits. An NRA worried about guns in the hands of criminals would be working for better data-sharing between federal and state agencies to tighten the net on felons and domestic abusers who have previously slipped through the cracks. An NRA that was concerned about defending the Second Amendment rights of all Americans would have pitched an absolute fit over the murder of Philando Castile, a man licensed to carry a weapon by the state of Minnesota, who was gunned down by police while trying to comply with contradictory instructions. But the NRA has done none of this. It's lost it's mind. #Votethemout #DAResists https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2017-08-01/im-a-gun-lover-and-the-nra-has-lost-its-mind | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
