ABOUT US
What parent wakes up in the morning, goes about the business of getting their kids off to school, and spends even one moment thinking that maybe their child won't come home that day? Maybe in these times more than there used to be. But it shouldn't be that way.
Families Against School Shootings (FASS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to finding an answer to the horror and tragedy of school shootings and attacks on children wherever they may be living the innocence of childhood. One essential way to finding a solution is to keep the issue in the forefront of our society's collective mind. Concerned parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, and citizens are invited to share in a discussion on our website in the Forum section. With open dialogue, maybe we can come together to find solutions beyond gun control that our politicians seem unwilling to discover.
​
Another strategy to keep the issue of children's school safety in the minds of Americans is through a steady stream of ongoing television commercials across the channels - reminding viewers of the vital importance of school safety when they're watching sports, romantic comedies, the news, reality TV, home improvement - the gamut of entertainment. FASS is filming new commercials each month to keep the issue fresh and unforgettable. We are looking for donations to help us cover the costs of placing our "reminders" in commercial rotation on the various media channels.
​
FASS also wants to help schools find ways they can make their facilities safer for their students, faculty, and staff members and support them in implementing the solutions that will save lives.
​
And FASS wants to help children and adults struggling with the after effects of experiencing gun violence at school, or the trauma of having a loved-one who experienced it, by linking those who need services with effective therapeutic and God-based resources in the community to foster healing and regain a sense of peace and safety.
​
The team at FASS are parents, business people, and love our country and the incredible opportunities it offers to us all. An education is the foundation of future success - teaching creativity, problem solving, a diversity of knowledge, adaptability, and other vital skills. Let's make sure all our children, adolescents, and young adults have the chance to grow into the incredible people they are meant to be . . . but most of all, that they come home to their families who love them at the end of every school day.
OUR MISSION
Families Against School Shootings is committed to keeping children, teens, and young adults safe from school gun violence by building awareness, finding solutions, and supporting schools to implement change.
We believe that every child has the right to a safe and secure education, and we work tirelessly to make this a reality.
