#March For Our Lives – When Children Are the Grownups
I have had mixed feelings all day – a sense of sadness that children have had to lose their innocence, their childhood to take on such large, ugly issues. Issues of life and death, of morality and cowardice, of justice and standing up for their rights. This was the age they were still supposed to be playing with their goofy toys and acting childish, silly. Life wasn’t supposed to be about bloodshed, gunshots and endings. For these children, life is supposed to be just beginning.
There’s sadness also because the adults in charge have totally abdicated their responsibilities. They have not delivered and kept the children safe. We don’t even let our children play with toy guns – why are these politicians and public servants treating these killing machines like toys?
And yet I also feel awe and wonder at how these children have stepped up to the plate and faced the situation. Thousands and thousands are marching – catalysts for a movement – and showing the way to their own parents, teachers and family. Our fragile planet has many problems but with a young generation as thoughtful and upbeat as this one, there’s hope.

“No More Silence – End Violence”….
Thousands have taken to the street and for armchair marchers, television is a way to see how everyone has rallied for gun reform. I particularly like this tweet from Preet Bharara.

Yes, these young people give us hope. Tomorrow will be a better day.
Barack Obama tweeted, “Michelle and I are so inspired by all the young people who made today’s marches happen. Keep at it. You’re leading us forward. Nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change.”
So today there is both sadness – and hope, mixed with pride in America’s kids.
