If republicans won't address gun violence in schools maybe a national school strike would.

Teachers and parents. High schools, day cares, colleges, Maybe even the entire country workforce. Shut the fucking country down until something is done. I'm in. Kids are so beautiful and bring so much joy. We have to think outside the box. Just my two cents. I'm angry

1. I fully support students striking nationwide over the lack of action here.

[ResIpsa]

2. Good idea.

3. Address it how, exactly?

My thought is that Democrats in Congress should have one specific proposal that everyone can rally behind.

4. A national strike. Shut the country down.

When the profits slow politicians wake up. Lots of parents could take time off and meet at all our schools and colleges and say no more. Just like the woman's March, we could have a parents and grandparents March. A we love children March. Something, anything that threatens politicians. Even republicans have kids and it could bring pressure on the politicians.

5. But I think we need a specific, concrete gun control proposal to rally behind

One that can gain traction in marches, on social media, etc.

Something simple and straightforward in terms of messaging.

7. Like no government benefits if you own a expensive gun?

The south would starve with that one. Maybe stop the NRA from killing our children vote Blue. Or vote blue save your children. Only with blue we can change things. Red is dead?

8. Or even just an assault weapons ban

6. I was thinking similarly

If HS kids throughout the country just got up and walked out of school one day, at the same time, what a statement that would make.
