Think of where you work. Now think of what it would be like if there was a pattern of mass shootings at such a place.Think of what how that would affect you emotionally and psychologically every day you went to work. Then imagine what that would feel like if you were 12 years old

Work in mental health. You can be pummeled but you can't defend yourself. Shootings have been a concern since it happened in Pittsburgh. Cameras and bullet proof windows are installed. We trained to hide behind metal doors.

Not enough is done about mental illness and violence. The latest church shooter was a mentally ill man who didn't get donations from the plate. We shouldn't have closed mental hospitals.

As a teacher, I think about this a lot. It's sad and kindergarteners should not be scared to come to school.

Think of where you work. Imagine a place where every worker loved every other worker. Imagine them all working in harmony in a stress free environment. If a seven year old girl walked into this place of business, how would she feel?

As a parents of a kindergartener and a preschooler, it’s something that crosses my husband and I’s mind every day our boys are in school.

Plan escape routes. Firemen know every exit of every room they walk into.

Now think of economic inequality, lack of health care for the poor, malnourishment in the richest country in the world, crumbling infrastructure the next-gen will have to fix somehow, the ever-increasing cost of higher education, non-accessibility to abortion or even condoms...
