Students Demand Action Illinois

This mom ran toward the unthinkable because that’s what moms do — love makes us run through fear. And while you carried your shoes, you carried the weight of every parent who has ever whispered, “Please, not my baby.”

We shouldn’t have to run like this. Not in our neighborhoods, not to our children’s schools. Yet here we are — another day, another headline, another broken piece of our hearts.

This issue is continuing to be left unaddressed as students are not safe in their schools, places of worship, some of the most sacred places. We must work go protect students and keep communities safe.

Our hearts hurt for the Minneapolis community, please know that we are here for you.
