I have spent my mornings reading your messages and they confirm that no child should have to walk through those school doors feeling terrified. My own heart still aches for the students who reach out to me with stories of what they endure daily. I am currently compiling these experiences to present directly to the district heads who refuse to acknowledge the severity of this crisis.

Seeing this momentum grow has brought me to tears because I know exactly how much pain my own child endured in those hallways. It is clear that so many of you are fighting this battle alongside me, and your commitment gives me the strength to push harder than ever for these changes.
