“I am convinced now, more than ever, that there is something we can do to create a “new normal” in America - one that emphasizes nonviolence over violence, love over hate. Creating nonviolent schools is an essential component that, in conjunction with common sense gun laws that value human lives, will redefine the world we want our children to grow up in.”
