In times like these, silence can feel like abandonment. Whether it's anti-trans rhetoric, immigration raids, or troops in our cities—our neighbors are feeling the weight.
Reach out, offer support, and check in on those most at risk—kindness and action matter now.

Quote by Dr. Ben Danielson: "This country’s leading cause of death for children and young people aged 1-19 is guns. If any other cause were responsible for this tragic level of loss, we would dedicate our greatest efforts...to address it."
Guns are the number one killer of children in America. If this were cancer, we’d launch a national emergency with every resource to remedy it. Why do we accept the status quo for guns?

Quote from Dr. Ben Danielson, AHSHAY Center Director: I hope for people who work with youth, this is a little bit of an encouragement and an affirmation that we can do this … community programs allow young people to get into tracks in their lives that are productive and wonderful and thriving and full of joy, and that work really matters.
62% of youth detention centers set for closure are now officially shut down. The key? Practical solutions over ideology.
