I’m a shooting survivor, future educator, and the President of Future Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence at Penn State. I’m reaching out because I’m a part of the future of education in America, and I need your help. Firearms have been the leading cause of death for children in the United States for the past three years. But I know things can change – because I see Teachers Unify making it happen. This non-profit was created by teachers who believe WE ARE agents of change. I formed the Future Teachers Unify chapter at Penn State to bring that same passion and energy here, and help future teachers be as prepared as we can be. I know now better than ever that this work requires significant amounts of fundraising, {NAME}. So, I’m asking personally: [Will you donate $25 to empower current and future educators against the challenges of the gun violence epidemic? >>](~/AAPPAAA~/RgRoCor1P0THaHR0cHM6Ly9zZWN1cmUuYWN0Ymx1ZS5jb20vZG9uYXRlL2dhLXR1LWVtP2Ftb3VudD0yNSZyZWZjb2RlPTIwMjQwNDIzX2VtX2ZyX2IxX2hvcGVfY2xfcnMmY2RtYz0yZlZxTG1HQ3FOUGlSTXplQ3VYM0MxMlptNWkmcmVmY29kZTI9MmZWcUxtR0NxTlBpUk16ZUN1WDNDMTJabTVpJnJlZmNvZGVjZG1jPTJmVnFMbUdDcU5QaVJNemVDdVgzQzEyWm01aVcDc3BjQgpmKPUFKGYHkHjdUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MUBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAVE~) As a preservice teacher, I’ve already had students impacted by gun violence. Just like my mother, a teacher of 28 years, has. Just like millions more teachers across the country have. None of us have escaped it. This is emotionally draining, incredibly personal – and not something we are trained for, {NAME}. But it doesn’t have to be like this. That is why educators and future educators are joining together with Teachers Unify to advocate for change – because enough is enough, and together, WE ARE more than powerful enough to make change. We just need the resources to keep up our fight. [I’m a preservice teacher, not a professional fundraiser, so I need you with us now.
