In late January 2016, our social justice group, Stop the Shots, organized an assembly that was in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for a peaceful and equal America. The focus of the assembly was gun violence prevention. We showed a portion of President Obama’s speech on his Executive Order to increase background checks. Obama believes that this will make it harder for someone to obtain a gun, especially if they should not have one. We also led a discussion about gun violence in America and how it affects everyone. We brought in a guest speaker named Donna Dees. Ms. Dees was the Director and Creator the the Million Mom March in 2000. She talked about why she got invested in gun violence prevention in her life and the steps she took to increase gun violence awareness. The goal of our assembly was to show why gun violence prevention is social justice and how it relates to Martin Luther King’s dream.
