Stop Spinning in Circles of Fear

Turn off the news. Stop
watching. Stop listening. The
loop of horror does

more harm than good. There
are less harmful ways to stay
informed. Instead of

attending to all
of the details, why not get
involved in ways to

bring about change? A
few local groups that focus
on doing just that:

Mothers of Murdered
Columbus Children, Linden
Community &

Columbus Stop The
Violence, Moms Demand Action,
The Fudge Foundation,

Everytown For Gun
Safety….We have to do more
than just ask when it

will all stop, discuss
our sadness and wait for the
politicians to

do something. WE must
be the change. WE must listen.
WE must learn. WE are

our only hope. Find
one thing to do this week. Then
another next week….

We must stop spinning
in circles of fear. Pause….breathe….
and then act from love.
