ZeroNow aims to foster a community of like-minded individuals and organizations, including students, parents, safety leaders, school administrators, and technology companies, who share the belief that zero harm is attainable. By joining the ZeroNow movement, individuals and organizations have the opportunity to contribute to the conversation and work towards creating a safer environment for schools.
