It’s been a heavy, heavy week. It’s just unfathomable to me that school shootings – that mass shootings anywhere – continue to happen, and we don’t make changes as a country. It feels too frivolous today to share a post with my favorites from the week, so I’m not sharing any links today. I’ll be back on Monday with my regular posts.

But I do want to encourage you to reach out to your elected officials – your senators, your representatives, your governor. If you know who is running for election later this year, reach out to them, too – let them know you want them to make gun control an issue. Talk to your friends and family and your network. It’s just too important of an issue to be content with the status quo.
