Author's Note: We are a collective of 144 student leaders representing 90 student groups across the nation, spanning progressive causes of every kind, and standing in solidarity with gun violence prevention. Today, more than 50 student newspapers are publishing our letter, addressed to students. Our nation is asking for a student-led conversation around gun violence without school shooting as its pretext, a conversation charged with hope rather than with fear. We’re not going to wait for the next school shooting to happen.
