National Walkout Day

Mullica Township Education Association

So proud of our students at Mullica Township Schools for organizing a powerful gathering as they assembled for 17 minutes to honor the 17 people killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., one month ago. They #stoodup and said #enough
"I did not plan to speak for you but to speak with you." - Rebecca, Student Council President

A lone student became a symbol of defiance on Wednesday as thousands of New Jersey students walked out of their classrooms to protest gun violence on National Walkout Day. Two schools closed because of threats and at least three others threaten to suspend students who participated.

Some focused on school security, others on mental health and some on gun control, but for the students who participated in demonstrations Wednesday, the main message was support for the victims of school shootings.

Dubbed the #Enough National School Walkout and organized under the umbrella of the Women’s March, Wednesday’s event spanned the globe. Thousands of students in South Jersey participated.

Students at Cedar Creek High School in Egg Harbor City staged a sit-in in the hallways with students reading the names of all the students who have died in shootings since Columbine High School in 1999.
