How to Participate in the Pledge at the Last Minute

• If there isn't time to distribute individual copies of the Pledge, post a blowup of the Pledge on a bulletin board or wall in the hallway, with sign-up sheets for students to sign. Or put a regular copy of the Pledge on the wall with a long roll of butcher paper beside it for signatures.



• Have an important public figure, your principal, or a favorite teacher lead the students in saying the Pledge over the public address system.



• Call for one minute of silence in memory of young people around the country who have been victims of gun violence.



• Every hour throughout the day read a statistic about young people and gun violence over the public address system - if you would like a copy of some relevant statistics, please email [an error occurred while processing this directive].



• If your school participates, be sure to total the number of signed pledges and SEND THE TALLY to the Student Pledge office. Submit your tallies here.
