Title: No more Silence, End gun violence
Name: Serena Ray  
Message: Artwork can be one of the biggest forms of advocacy out there. Pictures can often convey more than words. Gun violence is something that affects all students, even if they have not had a direct encounter with it. We need to change this narrative. Youth ARE the future.
