Let us help. We have resources to help you talk about gun violence in your classroom and community. We wish we didn't need to.

To start sensitive discussions around gun violence, we recommend Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down, the story of gun violence survivor Gabby Giffords, and our free discussion guide.

The team that worked on our teaching resources for Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down included gun violence survivors — and it shows. These materials are powerful, accessible and not political at all. Our Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down Learning Guide also includes our Facilitation Guidelines for Group Discussions, to help students voice things they need to talk about.

Indivisible Twin Cities resisters say:

"Today JD Vance, who voted to cut $800,000 from public safety funding for MN, had the gall to show his face for a photo op in Minneapolis after children were killed in a mass shooting. Neighbors made sure his motorcade saw that Minnesotans aren’t buying whatever he’s selling. Protect kids, not guns. #GTFO #gunviolenceprevention"
