Pens UP! Guns down is a non-profit organization formed to help promote the safety of our nation’s children. The name and concept for this organization was founded in Spring 2016. The overarching theme for the program is to restore good order and foster skills which equip our young to choose “Education over Violence.” We intend to achieve this end by providing principles and resources which promote health and wellbeing for all children - physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.
We recognize that there are differing viewpoints concerning the Second Amendment and understand why those viewpoints exist, but the Second Amendment is not our focus. Our focus is to help people understand that applying a potentially permanent fix to a temporary situation is not the most prudent choice. We also help those we serve strive for resiliency while working through challenges.
We have a total combined experience of almost 40 years in the field of education. Through our personal and professional experiences, we understand that the enterprise of education is not limited to our schools. This effort includes parents, families, communities, public/private officials as well as our national leaders. We all need each other.
