Recreation centers strengthen our communities by empowering our young people. Facilities like Jimmy Lee Recreation Center offer kids a safe place to do homework, play sports, and learn new skills. Guns don’t belong in spaces like these. Full stop.

This week we experienced yet another act of gun violence. We are grieving, angry, and tired. There are many questions to be answered, but I remain grounded in the hope for a future where safety exists in all spaces. Today we rest and tomorrow we organize.
