First, thank you once again to everyone who has stood up, spoken out, and joined this fight for safer streets for the children in our community. Your support means more than you know.
I want to share why this latest update is especially meaningful to me.
Several years ago, when my son’s disability rights were being violated, I reached out to elected officials for help. After being turned away or ignored altogether, I will never forget the afternoon State Representative Jeanne McNeill personally returned a message I had left with her office. We spoke for 45 minutes. She offered guidance, connected me with resources I didn’t know existed, and, perhaps most importantly, made me feel heard and validated as a mother who was scared and fighting for her child.
So, receiving an email from Rep. McNeill informing me that she had signed this petition was genuinely extraordinary. Imagine a Swiftie finding out Taylor Swift personally signed their vinyl. That was pretty much me opening that email!
There is tremendous pride in knowing that an elected official who speaks about advocating for Pennsylvania’s children consistently demonstrates that commitment through her actions. It is an honor to have her support, and I am truly, deeply grateful.
Because advocacy should be more than words. It should be something our children and families can count on.
Thank you all for continuing to stand with us.
