2019 has been a dangerous year for children in Philadelphia.
As of November 11th, 100 kids in Philadelphia have been shot, 12 fatally.
This heartbreaking statistic should sound alarms for elected officials. Our students should be worried about homework, crushes, and monsters under their beds; not bullets.
We are angry the violence has gotten this bad and call on our politicians in Philadelphia, Harrisburg, and Washington to take immediate action. We especially urge Harrisburg and Washington to give Philadelphia and other cities the tools they need to keep their communities safe.
