Dozens of students, educators, and representatives from gun violence prevention groups from a Brooklyn high school marched Wednesday to Justice Gilbert Ramirez Park to protest against gun violence.
The protest followed a recent shooting that took place outside of Williamsburg Charter High School, located in East Williamsburg. On Feb. 8, in front of the school, a 15-year-old girl, a 17-year-old boy, and a 37-year-old security guard were shot during an alleged dispute among several students. All three survived.
Students took turns vocalizing their fears and concerns about the recent rise in gun violence at schools across the nation, including the mass shooting that killed three children and three staff members at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee on March 27. “My own child who was shot multiple times as a teenager,” Myers said. “It has shaped my life [and] to come into the community where I was raised.”
“The roaring sound of a bullet scares me / thinking one day that could be me / living in fear with my peers / The violence / We steadily become immune / to cuts and bruises / The violent music / Has it become therapeutic? / I know some of us don’t have a role model to guide us / But why turn to violence? / Why are we so divided? / There hasn’t been a night where I slept in silence.”
