Mission Moment: Changing The Paradigm

There was a shooting in our neighborhood recently. Two people were killed. The shooter was 14.
Our kids were talking about it with their teachers the next day. We encourage our kids to talk about what they see and experience.
One of our six year old kids said, "Yeah, that's what happens. Sometimes you just get shot."
That should not be anyone's reality, but especially not a child so young.
We will continue to fight for our kids to be safe and learn to make good decisions. We cannot eliminate all the dangers, but we can create an environment that is as safe as possible where kids can feel free to express themselves and be kids.
