Sandy Hook Promise and MicroMatching

May 30, 2022

We at 52andChange are mourning alongside the rest of the nation, and also looking for ways to take action. This week we are raising awareness about the nonprofit Sandy Hook Promise and using our microgiving model to raise as many $1-10 gifts as we can to support their work. Please consider helping by donating and also sharing this campaign with your friends.

“The most meaningful way for us to honor our loved ones, those who were murdered in Uvalde and all the precious lives taken by gun violence across the country, is by doing everything we possibly can to prevent future tragedies. We must take meaningful action now, and every day until this epidemic of violence ends. Please, will you help to support our lifesaving work? This is the real, human toll of inaction, and that’s why our work cannot stop. We cannot slow down. Too many precious lives are at risk if we do. In especially painful moments like these, we’re so grateful to have you by our side. It’s your support that makes our lifesaving work possible, and we can never thank you enough.”

— Sandy Hook Promise

Research has proven that Sandy Hook Promise’s Know the Signs programs effectively teach youth and adults how to prevent school violence, shootings, and other harmful acts. Students and educators learn how to identify at-risk behaviors and intervene to get help. These early-prevention measures empower everyone to help keep schools and communities safe.

Their sister organization, Sandy Hook Promise Action Fund, is dedicated to helping pass common-sense reforms.

Find links to connect with this incredibly impactful nonprofit, run by dedicated parents who have lost children in school shootings alongside an incredible team of seasoned professionals.

Let’s all follow their lead and move towards change, however we can, to save the lives of innocent children.
