We Were deeply saddened by the deaths of 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary on May 24, 2022. In this episode, Tyler and Tara discuss the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation's initiatives for making the United States of America a better and safer place for our children. We also reflect on the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the tremendous unity of communities, businesses, Congress, and the President that were the catalysts to pass this legislation. Our hope is that the people of this great nation will once again come together to have true conversations that will result in unity to protect our children, who are some of the most vulnerable among us

We would like to express our gratitude for and support of the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation. Learn more at https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/.
