Remembering Sandy Hook: A Promise Unfulfilled

On that fateful day in 2012, 20 innocent children and six brave educators lost their lives to senseless gun violence.

The tragedy shook the nation, sparking widespread outrage and calls for action.

In the aftermath of the shooting, promises were made to ensure that such a horrific event would never happen again.

Lawmakers, policymakers, and advocates vowed to take concrete steps to prevent school shootings and protect America's children.

However, 12 years later, the promise of ending school shootings remains unfulfilled

Despite the tireless efforts of advocates, families, and communities, school shootings continue to plague the United States.

The numbers are staggering: since Sandy Hook, there have been over 1,400 school shootings, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries.

The failure to deliver on this promise is a stark reminder of the entrenched nature of gun violence in American society.

It is a testament to the powerful interests that have hindered meaningful reform and the lack of political will to take bold action.
