A Couple Of Lindas

Students like Laura and Aislynn were already creating change in their own school before the Parkland Tragedy. These students were already “walking up” before “walking out” and both actions can be done simultaneously to make a difference. As school shootings specifically and gun-violence, in general, are complicated issues, it will take multi-faceted initiatives to reach solutions. Desiree speaks with Laura, Aislynn, and their teacher Jordan about one example of an initiative.

Self-care defined as: "The practice of taking action to preserve or improve one's own health." Desiree along with Rachel & Amy discuss the article “This Is What ‘Self-Care' REALLY Means Because It's Not All Salt Baths And Chocolate Cake” which has some interesting thoughts on self-care. It feels like the original definition of self-care has been re-interpreted as more "treat yo self" activities. Both are needed, but they are certainly different. And hunny, he who doth protests too much always ends up getting caught sleeping with a man his office.

We are fed up and heartbroken over yet another school shooting. It's time for real action, not "thoughts and prayers." Follow the money and then vote complicit elected officials out of office.
