On December 14, 2012, twenty children and six educators were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. Sandy Hook Promise is founded and led by several family members whose loved ones were murdered in the tragic mass shooting. This action kit can help you honor their memories and legacies.
