LivesRobbed

Three years ago, Abby McLean’s children were just 5, 9, and 11 years old when they survived the shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee. What followed wasn’t just grief, but years of living with what that day changed — something both children and parents of the Covenant community are still carrying with them today.

Since then, Abby and other parents have continued to show up at the Tennessee State Capitol, sharing their stories and pushing for change, even when that effort has been met with inaction.

Behind her in this video is “Evelyn Wings,” an art piece honoring Evelyn Dieckhaus, one of six lives taken that day, alongside William Kinney and Hallie Scruggs, who were all just 9 years old, and Mike Hill, Katherine Koonce, and Cynthia Peak, who each played a role in caring for and supporting students.

Change doesn’t happen on its own. It happens because people refuse to stop pushing for it.
