From award-winning author Michelle Roehm McCann comes a young person’s guide to understanding gun violence and taking meaningful action in their community—from raising awareness and organizing to civic engagement and advocacy.

Young people are at the center of the national conversation about gun violence. From school safety concerns to community violence, teens are asking difficult questions, sharing their experiences, and looking for ways to make a difference. Enough Is Enough is a practical guide for young people who want to understand gun violence and get involved in their communities.

Divided into three parts, the book explores the history and scope of gun violence in America, the laws and institutions that shape the debate, and the many ways people are working to address the issue. Readers will learn how to evaluate information and competing claims, understand the history of the Second Amendment and guns in America, explore different approaches to gun safety and violence prevention, and identify meaningful ways to participate in civic life.

Throughout, Enough Is Enough centers the experiences and perspectives of young people. Interviews with teens who have experienced gun violence and student activists who are organizing in their communities offer firsthand perspectives on why this issue matters and what youth-led action can look like. The book also includes perspectives from gun owners who support increased gun safety measures, giving readers an opportunity to encounter different viewpoints as they develop their own understanding of this complex issue.

With accessible information, real-world stories, and practical tools for civic engagement, Enough Is Enough helps young people move from asking questions to becoming informed, engaged participants in their communities.
