...supported the kids in Vermont. The march I went to had about 3-400 people...a combination of young people, older ones like us 😳 and a few families with young children. It was organized by students at the high school my oldest granddaughter will attend in a few years.

I just wish people would actually listen to each other and HEAR each other so that we could move forward with real solutions to the gun violence problem. I wish it didn't take actual experience to understand how bad things are, in schools and elsewhere. I taught in a tough neighborhood for many years and saw what can happen when young gang members have access to guns. And how they tragically fall into the hands of younger siblings.My high school in San Diego had a shooting on campus many years ago. I never thought that would happen at *my* school.
There are so many things that could help and I believe all adults have a responsibility to take care of all our kids.
