esterday’s shootings broke Melissa’s heart – but what upset her even more was realizing how selective we’ve become about which tragedies get our outrage. In this powerful and unfiltered episode of Chats from the Blog Cabin, Melissa speaks candidly about the Colorado school shooting that barely made the news, the Minnesota state senator and her entire family who were gunned down with little coverage, and why one highly-publicized death should not eclipse the others.

Melissa calls on listeners to pay attention, advocate for change, and remember every family grieving from mass shootings – not just the ones the cameras focus on. This is a rallying cry for action, compassion, and consistency in how we respond to gun violence in America.
