"There's too much that will make you upset to not start taking action." - Caitlin

In the wake of recent tragedies at Annunciation Church and Catholic School in Minneapolis and Evergreen High School in Colorado, we're bringing back an episode that feels heartbreakingly relevant.

If you're feeling helpless and angry right now, you're not alone. But we know the women who listen to this show don't stay helpless for long. They’re women of action.

This episode, originally from April 2023, walks you through concrete steps you can take to advocate for safer schools and prevent future tragedies. We cover effective advocacy strategies, policy changes that work, and meaningful ways to support victims' families.

Let's turn that fury into action and honor these victims by fighting for the safer schools our children deserve.

The blog post for this episode is linked here.

What You'll Learn:

  • Practical steps to tackle school violence in your community
  • Why mental health support in schools matters—and how to advocate for it
  • How gun control policy changes impact community safety
  • The power of local elections and why your vote matters for school safety
  • Concrete ways to support victims and families affected by gun violence

Why We're Qualified to Talk About This: We're passionate advocates for school safety with backgrounds in education and a deep understanding of the issues surrounding school violence. We believe parents deserve practical action steps to create safer environments for their children.
