“We stand in sorrowful solidarity with the victims of this crime and with all those who mourn them. And we challenge every politician who plans to offer thoughts and prayers instead to offer real leadership that makes it harder for murderers to obtain and carry the weapons used in these senseless shootings. We challenge them no longer to cower before the gun lobby, but to speak up for students and communities caught up in a preventable epidemic of gun violence.
“Our students and their families, as well as our colleagues and our communities, deserve safe schools. We all deserve leaders who value our lives over their campaign contributions.” - NJEA President Sean Spiller, Steve Beatty: Vice-President of the NJEA, and Petal Robertson NJEA Secretary Treasurer
