This year alone, the United States has endured more than 400 mass shootings, resulting in the deaths of over 1,000 children and teenagers 0-17, according to gunviolencearchive.org. Kids Above All, a nonprofit in Chicago whose mission is to place the safety, well-being, and education of kids above everything else, announces the kickoff of its “Protect Our Kids” media and advocacy campaign. Kids Above All’s “Protect Our Kids” campaign highlights through social media and billboards the importance of choosing the safety of children over the dangerous interests of assault weapon manufacturers. It engages the public in advocating for the passage of state policy banning military-style assault weapons and provides the public with ways to make a direct and meaningful difference in the lives of young people who have lost a family member to gun violence.  To join the Protect Our Kids campaign, visit www.kidsaboveall.org. Participants will be able to contact their state legislators via email, registering their support for a statewide ban on military-style assault weapons.  Learn more about Kids Above All and the organization’s Camp Sheilah Program by visiting www.kidsaboveall.org.
