#SEL is our cure to #endgunviolence! True research efforts and REAL funding could allow for the documentation of the many instances of impulse & lack of self-regulation taking precious lives! Remember, the shooter’s life changes, too! #PreventionIsKey #UnderstandTheShooter

Context is key! Reporting news without context is why we are spending time planning funeral over college graduations. #PreventGunViolence
Violent crime in DC has been steadily trending down for decades and fell to a multi-generational low in 2024. Every single article covering whatever the administration does this week should mention that fact and highlight the data.

It's time to stop profiting on our pain. Substance abuse and gun violence are two illnesses that impacted our Mayor 4 Life and should not used for profit or sales of anybody or business. #WeArePrevention
