I hope the students can keep it together and come up with focused plans that will bring change.

Where to go? I believe we need to focus on the N.R.A. blood money and the people with blood on their hands. Someone posted the amount of money that elected officials received from the N.R.A. The information was incomplete.

Where can we get that list so we can look up our local congresscritter?

N.R.A. grades representatives and Senators. I tried to find the grades on the N.R.A. website. It is closed to non-members. It needs to be public. Call your representative and ask what their N.R.A. grade is. If they are graded highly, are they now proud of that?

This information needs to be presented at pickets outside the congressional and Senate offices on the day of the walkout. Alert newspapers to the data that is going to be presented. The goal is to thwart them from accepting future N.R.A. donations. Make those donations toxic.

Signage at events need to say thinks like, "Are Our Kids Next?" "It Can Happen Here."

This next one requires some caution and consideration.... The N.R.A. website has names of people who have volunteered to act as local coordinators for political activity.. Should they also be shamed for having blood on their hands?
