Time for action

Last weekends horrendous attacks in Texas and Ohio were a tragedy.
The mass killing in El Paso was racially motivated.

And these events are becoming more and more common.
It is a national disaster and emergency.

What is our response?

Walmart, who sell so many guns, is removing some of its in-store advertising for “violent” video games.
ICE raided food processing plants in Mississippi, ripping apart families who’s only crime was they wanted to work hard so their children could have a better future. Meanwhile the owners of those businesses remain free.
The United States Senate took a vacation, because one man, Mitch McConnell, refuses to allow a debate on anything that might bring common sense solutions.

Many people blame Trump for his hateful rhetoric.
But we elected him!
Nearly half of those who voted- voted for him.
Yes, he’s part of the problem.
But he’s also a result of the problem.

I’m sorry folks but a big part of this is on us.

We like to complain about everything.
That’s a good start.
But complaining without action is meaningless.

Protest
Register and vote.
Run for office.
Help with a campaign
Join an advocacy group.
Join or form a union.
Boycott businesses who’s actions do not align with your beliefs.

Or do nothing but send prayers.

It’s up to us.
