Mission Statement​
We are committed to advocating in a bipartisan manner for practical public safety reforms focused on the safety of our children and staff at school, improved mental health support, and responsible firearms ownership. ​​​​​
Who We Are
Stand with Parkland is a national school safety organization representing American families. We were founded by the families of the victims murdered in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School tragedy in Parkland, FL. We believe personal responsibility and a desire for change are paramount to this effort, and it is the people involved at all levels that will make these goals a reality. Violence in our schools affects everyone. It is time that we come together to end it.
Pillars of Change
We understand this is a complex problem, and addressing it in a real and impactful way demands a holistic approach that addresses the triad of school safety:
​
School Safety Enhancements
Example: Securing the perimeters
​
Mental Health Screening and Support Programs
Example: Identifying the kids that need help and create effective support programs for them
​
Responsible Firearms Ownership
Example: Universal background checks
Our Objective
Our objective is to end school violence. To reach our goal, we committed to working with both Republicans and Democrats to develop policies and legislation that address the many caused of violence in our schools.
​
Since 2018, we have worked with presidents and governors in both parties, federal and state legislatures, government agencies, and others to understand the issues related to school violence and collaboratively find solutions.
​
We also work with community and school leaders to implement educational programs that combat bullying, and we provide support programs for the family and communities who are the victims of school violence.​​
