Enough Is Enough

** Gun violence trigger warning**

We think it can't happen to us. In less than one week, there were mass shootings at a food festival in California, at a shopping mall in Texas, and right in our very own Dayton, Ohio. Thirty-two people killed and over sixty-five injured.

Each was an act of white terrorism, deeply embedded in white supremacy, and can happen at any given time unless we do something about it. At every mass shooting incident, people ask, "What will it take to make change happen?" The answer is you. Your voice, your time, and your power are needed to help heal and protect our communities and put an end to these hate crimes. We all deserve to live a life free from fear and trauma because of who we love, where we're from, or what we look like.

Ohio Women's Alliance members are committed to fighting against racism and dangerous gun legislation to make a difference in our communities. We are providing ways to get involved and take action today.
