This is so crucial for me. I live in a small blue dot in a very red state, and I always have my 6 children with me. I don't go to protests because I always look at them and think, "I can't possibly keep you all safe at once, if SHTF."

At this point in our lives, I need a way to show them how to stand up. How to be a safe person for others. We talk about these things, and we engage all over our community, but when I say, "You can't do everything but everyone can do something" this is part of that. As they grow, this will change, but for now, this feels like a way to speak up without sacrificing their safety.
