On Wednesday, Trayvon Martin should have turned 30 years old.

Last year, I got to interview his mom on how she is doing and what she is doing. In her own words. The “in her own words” part really matters. She has lots to teach. You also hear how to help her.

i just cannot get over how much the administration’s response to the crash shows a profound disrespect for the lives of the people they are supposed to serve

Silent complicity is the thing...
"First they came ..." is the poem by the German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller. It is about the silent complicity of German intellectuals and clergy following the Nazis' rise to power and subsequent incremental purging of their chosen targets, group after group.

Gun violence is actionable. Don’t want to look at it as a political issue? Fine. Look at it as a public health issue. Listen to people who know what action and lack of action on gun violence can look like.
12 years ago today, @nelbamg.bsky.social's daughter, Ana Grace, was killed at the mass shooting at Sandy Hook School.

In this episode of #SharedHumanity, she talks to @meganranney.bsky.social about how she honors Ana Grace and how addressing firearm injury as a public health issue brings hope.
In our newest episode of #SharedHumanity: The humans behind the headlines, host @nelbamg.bsky.social is joined by Dean @meganranney.bsky.social. The two discuss firearm injury as a public health issue, partnerships between academia, survivors, and communities, and how they continue to find hope.

On this Giving Tuesday, consider donating to anagraceproject.org to support Ana Grace's mom and dad in honoring her life. Their work is impactful and a beautiful reflection of how they choose to honor Ana. Every dollar goes to programming, zero overhead.💜
