Our Children Are Our Future

I am deeply concerned about the rate of violence and fatalities that are plauging our communities, and our City.

I am so tired of seeing these young men and women dying.

One life cut short by violence is too many. And the affects of each loss are far reaching, no friend or family member should have to bare that lifelong grief.

Losing a child is a tremendous loss

Because I lost my son to gun violence in 2023. It remains unsolved and no mother should have to bury their child. Killed in his home.

I have children I want to protect and even other children need adult protection and guidance

We are one family under God

The highest qualities of human beings are spiritual moral in nature

The family is the “school of love” and the cornerstone for world peace

By practicing the ethics of “living for the sake of others” we can reconcile the divided human family

Lasting peace cannot be achieved through political compromise alone but must involve a commitment to personal change

It is important

I care about the community, and safety of our children.

Because enough is enough and I don't want anyone else to have to live with a loss of a child like me.

The death of a child is a tremendous loss that no family should have to experience

Out there our other ways then violence, plus we have to pass the torch down to build our communities back up.
