This is specifically about Trump defunding ReadyKids here, but it’s an evergreen statement.
Easy solution is to take the money budgeted for cops in schools and put it towards this.

I had no idea they have been serving people for over 100 years! Really fantastic organization and I also appreciate that they care for their own staff as well, making sure that people who provide help aren’t getting burnt out.

🐾👧👦 Kids + pets = family. Plan for both.
✔️ Pack pet food, water, & comfort items in your go-kit.
✔️ Teach children how to help keep pets calm in emergencies.
✔️ Make sure pets have ID tags & microchips.
When kids see pets included, they feel safer too.
