Beyond Thoughts & Prayers: 6 Practical Ways to Push for Safer Schools (Re-release)
Description
"There's too much that will make you upset to not start taking action." - Caitlin
In the wake of recent tragedies at Annunciation Church and Catholic School in Minneapolis and Evergreen High School in Colorado, we're bringing back an episode that feels heartbreakingly relevant.
If you're feeling helpless and angry right now, you're not alone. But we know the women who listen to this show don't stay helpless for long. They’re women of action.
This episode, originally from April 2023, walks you through concrete steps you can take to advocate for safer schools and prevent future tragedies. We cover effective advocacy strategies, policy changes that work, and meaningful ways to support victims' families.
Let's turn that fury into action and honor these victims by fighting for the safer schools our children deserve.
