Erik Jetmir of Bowie, Candidate for the U.S. Senate representing Maryland, has organized the first of a series of #NotOneMoreChildChallenge events on Wednesday, March 21st, 2018 at 10AM to demand immediate action from the President and Congress on Gun Violence.

"The horrific events of February 14th took the lives of 17 young people and brought into clear focus the complete and abject failure of our leadership to solve this ongoing systemic problem. Gun violence takes the lives of thousands of young people and leaves families and communities devastated by the tragic loss. We have seen the NRA spend $5 million dollars a year on lobbying and nothing gets done on this issue by the President and Congress."

"On Wednesday, March 21st at 10AM wherever you are, go outside for 17 minutes in support of the 1,000s of children that walked out of their classrooms last week and post, tweet, film a YouTube video, or post on Instagram showing that you are with these young leaders and support the call for immediate action on gun violence. Join us in our commitment that not one more child is killed by gun violence." https://youtu.be/M1sNhsuwCXI

"The President and Congress are responsible for their inaction on this issue. Their inaction on this is unacceptable and demonstrates the clear need for a change of leadership who can stand up to the Gun Lobby and stand for the young children and families all over the country that want this fixed now! Join us Wednesday, March 21st at 10AM to take the #NotOneMoreChildChallenge to send a clear message that if our leaders do not act now to create change, they will be voted out of office and replaced with leaders that know this is a national crisis. We can. We must. We will. Now is the time!"
