There is nothing lighthearted about this episode as we come to you with heavy hearts today. Here we are on the heels of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and every parent and teacher has strong emotions about what happened. This fresh tragedy brings to mind the Sandy Hook massacre in 2012, and some of us “elder millennials” even remember the shooting at Columbine High School in 1999. Whatever your thoughts are about gun control, this is much more than a political issue; it’s about advocacy for children and their safety. 

Show Highlights:

• Why we feel that our platform to advocate for children’s best interests makes it our duty to make change
• Why our children’s physical safety is priority #1 in everything we do
• What needs to be done next: we have to take action through legislation and who we elect
• Why the big issue is that our government has made it easier to get a gun than to do almost everything else
• The bottom line: We need to limit the guns that are available—through legislation.
• What to do right now: “Go hug your kiddos.”
