This is my best friend Dominic Blackwell. He should be gearing up for college. Frantically buying dorm stuff. Planning trips. Meeting his new roommate. But he got shot and killed at our high school. We must and CAN do better. I promise to find a way. What’s your promise?

I promise to keep working on gun violence prevention I promise to keep showing up. I promise to keep people in my prayers, and I will do everything in my power to dismantle the gun lobby in Washington D.C.

How do you stop people willing to commit murder, mass-murder of schoolkids? Taking away a tool doesn't solve the problem.
How do you do so without violating the rights of many tens of millions of people innocent of any wrongdoing in their lives?
These are EQUALLY IMPORTANT.

I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine. I am hoping to see change and continue to fight for it as this has been a problem since before I started teaching.

This is a sweet picture.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Mia.
Both my kids are preparing to head back to campus after summer break. I’m painfully aware that gun violence can affect my family at any given moment.
Thank you for sharing your story, your pain. Keep fighting!

my promise is to get rid of the gun free zones. gun free zones are why he's gone. something has to be done to get rid of them.
