Teachers Unify Summit
We hosted our first in-person event, bringing together 11 school shooting survivor educators to strategize and develop our outreach framework.

THE PODCAST
The Teachers Unify Podcast is hosted by Sarah Lerner, co-founder of Teachers Unify To End Gun Violence, and teacher-survivor of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. The show addresses issues of gun violence and how it impacts schools and communities.
CRISIS INTERVENTION & SUPPORT TEAM
Dedicated to building/rebuilding safety, trust, and resilience for educators and allied professionals.
When the fear and impact of gun violence and trauma take hold of a school or community, educators and school staff are often left with few resources to address their own needs while simultaneously supporting students and families. Teachers Unify to End Gun Violence is changing that.

Teacher’s Unify has been reading and listening to your stories since 2021. It is important to empower educators, staff, and allies to demand that communities are safe from gun violence. We are committed to making sure our voices are heard.
OUR STORIES
We ask educators across the country to share their experiences of gun violence. It is vital that we hear from educators who are on the front lines of this public health crisis. Our voices have been missing from the conversation.
