Response to Uvalde, TX School Shooting

Today, we grieve with the families, students, educators, and community members in Uvalde, TX, and all over the country. This is yet another senseless and preventable act of violence. We cannot continue to ignore the threat to community health and wellbeing caused by gun violence. Schools should be safe havens in our communities. Arming teachers is not the answer; more guns in schools is not the answer. What we need is to address the policies that make it easy to acquire guns. We need action from state and federal legislators, and we need it now.
