We must be unwavering in our promise to build a state where every kid, person, and family can live their life free of violence and have every chance to be successful. “I’ve seen the pain and the frustration of so many, and we must remain steadfast in our commitment to ending violence in our communities, supporting victims and survivors as they heal from trauma, and rooting out the disparities that are so often inextricably linked to that violence and trauma.
