“We are grateful to have the cast of Modern Family join and support the students demanding change during this historic moment in the gun violence prevention movement,” Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, says. “Students across America are committed to changing America’s culture of gun violence, and we plan to support them all the way — and that includes throwing out lawmakers who refuse to work to reduce gun violence in our schools and communities.”

Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan — also a member of the Everytown Creative Council with Burrell, O’Neill and Vergara — explains why his team wanted to stand up for this cause.

“Our show celebrates families, while gun violence devastates them,” he says. “How could we sit back and do nothing while these brave kids stand up to the gun lobby since our lawmakers won’t?”

Levitan will be participating in the March for Our Lives March 24.
