The Newtown Tragedy, What We Need Now is Action

December 2012

We can no longer afford the luxury of inaction or ineffective solutions to the thief of community violence. On Friday, he stole 28 innocent lives, most of who hadn’t yet celebrated their eighth birthday. We know this thief. We saw him in a movie theater in Aurora, a high school at Columbine, a classroom at Virginia Tech. It is time to confront this thief, to draw in our wagging fingers of blame and fight for meaningful, lasting change.
