April 20 marks the 19th year since the tragedy at Columbine High School. That day, NEA will join a coalition of more than 40 organizations for the National Day of Action Against Gun Violence in Schools. Communities across the country will host rallies, walk-ins, assemblies, moments of silence, and other actions to demand that our leaders take real action to end gun violence in our schools and neighborhoods.
