Our hearts are heavy today. We are grieving with Silver Rail Elementary, with Bend, with all of the families and community members impacted by this horrific shooting.

Kids deserve safe learning spaces.
Teachers deserve safe learning spaces.
Families deserve safe learning spaces.

To every family sending a child to school today, to every caregiver worrying about the mental health of a young person, to the teachers walking into classrooms with this weight on their shoulders - we see you, we love you, and we stand with you.

Protect kids, not guns.
