Students in Miami middle schools are working to end gun violence by creating a magazine with information on mass shootings. They intend to distribute the material to members of Congress to urge them to protect schools and students from gun violence.

“They’re pushing for a range of policy changes, including further limits on gun ownership, red flag laws to keep guns away from potentially dangerous people and greater investment in mental health care in schools,” reports NPR.
