John, so often in conversations about gun violence, I hear people say, “I never thought
it could happen to me.” But I’ve never had that privilege.
My own mother was shot in front of me when I was a toddler. Trust me when I tell you, the impact of gun violence never goes away.
I’ve been a teacher for over 20 years – through Sandy Hook, Parkland, Uvalde, and many more tragedies we don’t name. And I’m a
mother who worries about her three sons and grandson every day.
The thing is, John – I’m not an anomaly. As the gun violence epidemic continues,
more people share my story than ever before. That’s why I’ve joined Teachers Unify as an Ambassador, to be part of the change we
so desperately need.
The path forward isn’t impossible. We can create safer school communities. Already, Teachers Unify is supporting schools impacted
by gun violence and empowering teachers to advocate for trauma-informed drills and student-centered care.
But we’re regular educators, not fancy fundraisers. We need help from people like you to keep the fight going.
This is personal to me, John, so I’m asking you to step up in your personal capacity –
whatever you can afford – and make a donation to power Teachers Unify. Can I count on you to give $25 or more today to end gun
violence in our schools and communities? >>
