Teachers Unify empowers educators to demand that communities are safe from gun violence.


THE PODCAST

The Teachers Unify Podcast is hosted by Sarah Lerner, co-founder of Teachers Unify To End Gun Violence, and teacher-survivor of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in 2018. The show addresses issues of gun violence and how it impacts schools and communities.


OUR STORIES

We ask educators across the country to share their experiences of gun violence. It is vital that we hear from educators who are on the front lines of this public health crisis. Our voices have been missing from the conversation.
