A mass shooting in Uvalde, TX left 19 kids dead as well as 2 adults. This is the worst shooting of its kind since Sandy Hook 10 years ago. For my part, thoughts and prayers is just the start of our response. I want real action to prevent these in the future. Warrior Poets, hear my call to these 4 things we can do now to make a safer tomorrow. Political narratives aside, no platitudes that gives authoritarians more of your freedoms, these responses are anchored in the real, raw, and pragmatic.
