I am heartbroken. Heartbroken about the pain that so many communities in our country live every day. 2/6

I know parents across America remain sick with worry about the safety of their children. I feel that anguish. The most important title I’ll ever hold is Jordan’s mother, and as Jordan’s mother, I am hurting. 3/6

I hurt for every mother who’s lost a son, every son who’s lost a father, and every child whose life was taken far too soon. We honor their memories with an unwavering determination to create a better future for ourselves and for our children. 4/6

This work will not be easy, and every American has a role to play in transforming our aspirations into real, effective change. But I have no doubt that with empathy and resolve, we can create a future where peace and justice drive out hate and violence. 5/6
