Local students call for action against gun violence
ATLANTA, Ga. (WSAV) — A group of local students took their voices to the Georgia State Capitol, calling for action against gun violence. Students from Savannah Arts Academy traveled to Atlanta on Tuesday to join the statewide 'Students Demand Action' movement, advocating for stronger gun safety measures both locally and on a national level. They spoke directly with legislators, urging them to address the issue through policy changes like House Bills 1 and 207 which focus on secure storage for weapons in homes and cars. 'I'm graduating this year which means I won't be in high school anymore,' said student Ry Walker. 'But some of the people behind me will still be in high school and their siblings might still be in high school, so it's bigger than me. Like, it's still going to affect them and people they love. Colleges get shot, too, so this effects everyone.' 'I hope that they saw us there,' said student Zoe Wagner. 'They saw our numbers, and they realized that we care about this and that we're passionate about it and we wanna see real change made about it; real legislation. I think that there's strength in numbers and we showed up.' The Group also said they hope their trip will spark meaningful conversations among state leaders. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
