And again. And again\u2013with multiple shootings occurring the same day as this recording\u2013including one at a healthcare facility in Tulsa with multiple fatalities.<\/p>\n<p>This is America\u2019s new forever war. This is our tragic and horrible new normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A normal where schools are war zones \u2014 and people in actual war zones are sending condolences to us. A new normal where an overwhelming 88% of people favor some sort of action on gun violence but are held hostage by 12% that don\u2019t. None of it makes any sense, and as Americans continue to kill Americans daily, our enemies are celebrating.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re celebrating the division sown by politicians that care more about their grasp on power than your child\u2019s safety. And that division is deeper than ever. And the anger is boiling over and turning increasingly violent. From our kids&#8217; schools or to our local grocery stores, violence is everywhere. It\u2019s our #1 national security threat. We\u2019ve got to face it. And we\u2019ve got to look for the helpers to help us find the way forward.<\/p>\n<p>Fred Gutenberg (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fred_guttenberg\">@fred_guttenberg<\/a>) is a helper. And a hero who is pushing for solutions. He suffered an unimaginable loss, when his 14-year-old daughter Jamie was murdered at Parkland, Florida\u2019s Stoneman Douglas High School. Despite his pain, he emerged the very next day to speak at a vigil addressing his community. It was carried nationally and the entire country was riveted by what he said. America has been riveted by Fred ever since. And he has not stopped ever since.\u00a0Fred testified before Congress, started a non-profit, is constantly meeting with leaders in Washington, and wrote a book called<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fredguttenberg.com\/book\/\"><em>Find The Helpers<\/em><\/a>.
