Here is what the Bady Campaign is doing on a national scale on 24 October:

Look at what they recommend for your kid's school:
Participating at the Last Minute
Leading up to the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence with awareness-building activities will greatly enhance its impact. But if your school has just learned of this youth anti-gun-violence campaign and wants to take part, the suggestions below will make some participation possible.

Leading up to the Student Pledge Against Gun Violence with awareness-building activities will greatly enhance its impact. But if your school has just learned of this youth anti-gun-violence campaign and wants to take part, the suggestions below will make some participation possible.
- Clip and enlarge local news stories about recent shootings and get students to hang them on the walls.
- If there isn't time to distribute individual copies of the Pledge in an assembly or in individual classrooms, post a blow-up of the Pledge on a bulletin board or wall in the hallway, with sign-up sheets for students to sign. Or put an enlarged copy of the Pledge on the wall with a long roll of butcher paper beside it for signatures.
- Create an entire wall of black construction paper. Have students circulate between classes with trays of water-soluble colored paint and paint rollers. Invite students to roller-paint their hands and make Pledge hand-prints on the wall and sign their names beneath their hands.
- Every hour throughout the day read a statistic about young people and gun violence over the public address system. Write one statistic per page, place it on construction paper, and post in the halls.
- Have a wall of student-created posters about avoiding gun violence that can stay up in places of high visibility. Students can add new ones all year long.
- Have a student, an important public figure, your principal, or a favorite teacher lead students in reciting the Pledge over the public address system.
