Thank you for calling Congress!
Tested by our grief,
Inspired in our pursuit of justice,
Strengthened by our love for country and for God's children
Resolute in our faith.
We call on our lawmakers and say:
Enough pain. Enough despair. Enough injustice. We can and must transform our grief into action.
