My sweet little Daniel, along with 19 other children and 6 educators, was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT in 2012. His murder still seems so raw to me. I find some solace in knowing that we’re making a real difference @sandyhook.

After Daniel’s murder, I was unable to find comfort in music. Over time, I've been able to find my way back and rediscover my lost passion for music. My story, 'A Father's Promise,' is produced by @SherylCrow and now streaming on multiple platforms. https://t.co/RSAlhLhj7S

I’m grateful for this bold Commitment to Action from @sandyhook Promise. It will go a long way to reduce gun violence in the places that need it most, and give more kids the chance to grow up safely to pursue their dreams.

We know from experts in education, mental health, psychology and violence prevention that a more trauma-informed approach to active shooter drills is necessary, and these executive orders will help to make that a reality. #ProtectOurKids #SHPAction @sandyhook

Bullying and experiencing chronic loneliness are warning signs of violence. We train students how to recognize the difference between healthy alone time and somebody who may be at risk because of chronic, sustained social isolation. @wnpr @sandyhook #ProtectOurKids

CDC data reveals fewer U.S. teens felt persistently sad or considered suicide from 2021 to 2023, but school-based violence and bullying have increased. https://t.co/p44voQDS23
