Friend -

It’s hard being a mom these days. I drop my kids off at school, kiss them goodbye, and every day I wonder if this is the day something awful might happen. It’s a nightmare that no parent should have to live through, yet here we are—school shootings have become so common that they barely shock us anymore. I’m sure you’ve had the same thoughts too.

As my work partner Dc says, "The only afterbirth abortion happening is the blind eye politicians give to school shootings." And honestly, isn’t that the truth? 

We’ve got politicians, who are supposed to serve and protect us, doing everything but passing meaningful gun control laws. Their inaction is costing us the lives of our children, our teachers, and our communities.

Let’s be real—there’s no reason we can’t do better. Other countries have faced this issue head-on and come out safer on the other side. We’re just not doing it, and it’s beyond infuriating.

We know what needs to be done. It’s time to move this discussion from thoughts and prayers to actual legislation that protects our kids. Here’s how you can help make this happen:

1. Call your representatives: You’d be surprised how much impact a flood of calls can have. Ask them where they stand on gun control legislation, and let them know you’re watching their votes closely.
2. Join or support gun reform organizations: Groups like Moms Demand Action or Everytown for Gun Safety are doing the hard work, but they need our support. Get involved by donating, volunteering, or attending local meetings.
3. Vote, vote, vote: This November, we need to elect people who actually care about ending gun violence. If your elected officials aren’t willing to step up and protect our children, we need to find people who will.

We owe it to our kids to do better. We owe it to ourselves to stop living in fear every time we send them to school. Enough is enough. Let’s get this done.

In solidarity and hope for a safer tomorrow,
