School shootings are avoidable and preventable. Focusing on prevention helps end the epidemic of gun violence that children and adolescents are experiencing in American schools. In fact, in 4 out of 5 school shootings, at least one other person knew about the shooter's plan but didn't tell it. For this reason, and for yet another year, Sandy Hook Promise has launched its public service announcement – Back to School Essentials – taking advantage of the return to school of millions of children in the country and focusing on early identification, action and intervention. Last year was one of the deadliest years for school violence in a long time, with 22 shootings recorded. The unconscious acceptance of shootings as regular incidents has become the “new normal” in schools and public spaces across the country.
But it does not have to be like that. To raise awareness of this horrible “new normal” and the stress students face daily , SHP and BBDO New York have produced the new video that begins as a cheerful – and often Pakistan Phone Number List familiar – back-to-school announcement, but slowly the script turns to other directions: The students begin to use school supplies to survive a shooting, thus shedding light on the horrible reality that the students face. "And we know that our programs can protect them from school shootings , violence and other harmful acts. But we can only expand our work to save lives if people like you join us and take action. Together, we can save more lives,” they say from the association.
Our goal is to awaken parents to the horrible reality that our children endure. Gone are the days of viewing the return to school as a carefree time, when school violence has become so prevalent. However, if we come together to know the signs, this does not have to be the case. I hope parents across the country will join me in taking the pledge to stop this epidemic,” said Nicole Hockley, co-founder and CEO of Sandy Hook Promise and mother of Dylan who died in the Sandy Hook school shooting. As with its previous ads, including the award-winning Evan that was viewed more than 100 million times and the Emmy-nominated Point of View , SHP reinforces that proven preventative solutions exist, including its Know the Signs programs . Its programs train youth and adults to identify warning signs and intervene before a tragedy occurs.
