Students at Saugus High and other L.A. area schools join walkout to end gun violence, as youth around the nation call for gun-safety reforms in wake of Texas school shooting.

Wynter said the school’s administration was generally supportive of the students’ actions and having their voices heard.“It’s sad that we live in a society where we have to do school shooter drills just to make sure we know how to keep safe from these things,” she said.

“There needs to be change,” she continued, adding that she encourages young people to vote so they can elect officials who agree with Students Demand Action’s position on gun safety legislation. It was not immediately clear how many schools in Los Angeles Unified School District had walkouts. The district issued a statement supporting students who wished to speak out on issues – but stressed that students should remain on campus while engaging in advocacy, saying that the campuses are the safest places for them.

“The past several years have been difficult as our nation has grappled with a pandemic, gun violence, continued racial injustice and inequality, women’s rights and the effects of climate change,” the district said in its statement. “These issues are crucial and meaningful to our students and Los Angeles Unified encourages their right to advocate for causes that are important to them.
