Last month, 19 children and two teachers were shot down inside one classroom at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The shooter barricaded himself inside the classroom and took the lives of 21 people.

We do not write today to request a moment of silence for the victims of this senseless violence, because as a nation we have been silent for far too long. We do not want to stand with our heads bowed in a performative moment of solidarity.
