Michaela Watkins Instagram – Repost from @makinsome I am joining #here4thekids in Denver on June 5th in an act of civil disobedience aimed at ending gun violence. This inspiring grassroots movement led me to wonder what else I could do to help.
Energized by the work of @here4thekidsaction, I created this PSA with the help of a generous cast and crew made up entirely of volunteers, concerned parents, and conscientious industry professionals. In it, they risked putting their names, faces, time, and talents into confronting the most terrifying of topics in order to bring attention to the growing momentum of #here4thekids. The list of collaborators is long and I can’t thank them enough for joining me in this work.
With this contribution, I join @here4thekidsaction in respectfully challenging fellow white folx to use their power and privilege to exact change. No one is exempt from the tragedy of gun violence, it affects us all. This is not someone else’s work to be done.
Guns are the #1 killer of children in America. People all over the country are having similar discussions about how to keep their children safe. This PSA, aimed specifically towards those with privilege, attempts to wake us from our numbness and empower us to action. When will you decide to do something different? What will it take for you to risk your own comfortability, risk your own safety in order to protect all of our children from gun violence. We Can We Will.
Please share. Spread the word. Thanks for watching!
