It is vital that students across the U.S. understand that they can help to prevent tragic incidents from happening at their schools. According to the U.S. Secret Service, in 81% of school shootings, the attacker tells someone about it first. PAX's SPEAK UP Campaign encourages students to report weapon threats at school, either by talking to a trusted adult or by calling the anonymous, free 1-866-SPEAK-UP hotline. Students have the power to keep their schools safe and prevent a terrible tragedy like the one that occured today.
