Protect Women
Locked gun imageSMART WEEK
August 26-30

Everytown for Gun Safety is launching a new campaign around back-to-school called SMART Week, this year taking place from August 26-30! It will seek to educate communities across the United States about the simple steps that everyone — gun owners and non-gun owners alike — can take right now to prevent gun violence

One of the smartest things all adults can do to keep kids, classrooms, and communities safe from gun violence is raise awareness about secure gun storage. SMART Week will seek to educate communities across the United States about the simple steps that everyone — gun owners and non-gun owners alike — can take right now to prevent gun violence:
  • Secure all guns in homes and vehicles
  • Model responsible behavior around guns
  • Ask about the presence of unsecured firearms in other homes your child visits
  • Recognize the role of guns in suicide
  • Tell your peers to Be SMART.
Bottom line: as summer comes to a close and kids head back to school, adults have homework too. During SMART Week, let’s spread the word about secure gun storage and how to Be SMART.
