Bravery — this is gonna take ongoing bravery!
Today is National Gun Violence Prevention Day and many around our country are rallying by wearing orange. Wear orange, please, but let’s remember that this is a long-term effort — to protect our children this is an everyday thing to help shape and change our culture. We must be persistent and carry today’s inspiration for orange through every day and tackle every opportunity we are presented with to reduce gun violence and tragedy. We must be brave to speak out and up about what we believe. We know #BlackLivesMatter and we know risk from gun violence isn’t the same for all of us. Children of color are at higher risk. We can work to reduce gun violence in so many ways by becoming more intolerant of injustices we see. They are everywhere and I think we are collectively learning more and more every day. This week’s news on twitter is no exception. We know school shootings go against everything we all want for our children. In addition to orange, let’s be bold. Let’s keep inventing new ways to reduce violence, suicide, tragedy, harm, and suffering from gun violence. This remains personal to me and I won’t relent.
