I Promise

Will you join me?

I know you may want to forget. I know you may want to move on from this tragedy and go back to your life.

I cannot. We cannot.

There is work to be done.

I’m not pushing any political agenda here.  I have simply made the promise to keep talking about this, keep talking about the causes and what can be done to keep it from happening again.

I made that promise and I’m asking you to make it too.

This is a Promise*

To truly honor the lives lost by turning our tragedy into a moment of transformation.

Make the promise for the future of our country and the safety of our own children. Do it for the parents who grieve on for their precious lost children. Do it for  David and Francine Wheeler, because that is what they need from us now.   Make the promise for Veronique Pozner, who has been brave enough to describe the condition of her son’s body after the shooting with the hope that people with feel compelled to take action.

Now is not the time to walk away and let someone else figure it out. It’s not the time to throw our arms up in despair and declare the situation hopeless. It’s time to do something. It’s time to support common sense solutions.

This is a Promise*

To have the conversations on ALL the issues
Conversations where listening is as important as speaking.

Don’t let this fade from your memory. Don’t let time lesson our resolve to change. Not again.
