In response to the rise in mass shootings across America, the community in Austin has been proactive. Julia Beverly provides insights from Austin, TX, regarding the growing national issue of mass shootings in schools.

Had Dylan Hockley and Daniel Barden survived, they would be nineteen years old today. It's possible to picture them as young college students enjoying spring break in Austin, Texas, a city known for its vibrant music scene during events like SXSW.

Sadly, instead of Dylan and Daniel, their parents, Nicole Hockley and Mark Barden, founders of Sandy Hook Promise, are present. They not only cope with the loss of their children but also strive to raise awareness about this tragic subject among partygoers at SXSW. Dylan and Daniel were victims of the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, where twenty young children lost their lives.

Given the challenges of implementing stricter gun control laws in the US, Sandy Hook Promise focuses on prevention through their Know the Signs program. This initiative educates young individuals on identifying warning signals from peers who may pose a risk to themselves or others.

To support their cause, Sandy Hook Promise seeks donations, volunteers, and sells teddy bears.

At the SXSW event hosted by Sandy Hook Promise, mental health experts shared insights, and artists like Aly & AJ shared their own experiences as survivors of mass shootings. The night concluded with a performance by singer Ginuwine, surrounded by Sandy Hook Promise teddy bears and a photo of Daniel Barden and his siblings.

A nearby immersive experience sponsored by Lush Cosmetics, called "Bloom A New Day: Activation Against Gun Violence," served as a tribute to the numerous victims of school shootings.

Following the tragic events at Sandy Hook, another devastating incident occurred in Parkland, Florida, where seventeen individuals lost their lives at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Parents of Joaquin Oliver, Manny and Patricia Oliver, in collaboration with Global Action on Gun Violence, have taken legal action against the US government. They assert that the government's failure to protect children like Joaquin is a violation of human rights law.

As the Supreme Court reviews this significant case, the organizers encourage supporters to sign the petition.
