Summarization
Change The Ref (CTR) is an organization that is campaigning for gun control in the United States, with their efforts supported by other organizations. Their strategies have included blocking intersections around the country, collaborating with Circulo Mexico to share CTR's message, honoring the 17 victims of the Parkland shooting that occurred 5 years ago, selling rose-themed clothing, and working with Manuel Oliver, the father of one of the Parkland victims. They are also bringing awareness to the darkness that gun violence has brought to the U.S., highlighting the numerous mass shootings that have happened in 2021 and the shockingly high rates of homicide among Black Americans. They are encouraging people to donate to their cause and follow their message, and they are developing a high-tech school bus to help spread their mission. Lastly, they are trying to raise awareness through a Snapchat campaign.

1625617606299230216 | It has been 5 years today since the shooting at MSD HS in Parkland and the parents of Joaquin Oliver are in DC.

1626717356218290181 | When Ethan's Law had its hearing Jim and friends were rude and inconsiderate. It was two weeks after Uvalde.
