Common sense gun control. Better environmental protections. Cleaner, safer schools. There’s a lot on parents’ minds beyond just homework and getting to activities on time.
Fortunately there are local organizations with concerned parents in mind making a real difference in our communities and beyond. Here are just a few, but I hope to expand this list with more groups and opportunities! Please leave your ideas in the comments!
