Who will inherit the Earth?

Katrina Russell

Adults spend a lot of time arguing about their rights. The right to have giant killing machines, the right to be able to say what they feel, the right to own or have or do... these kids don't care about your rights to things.. these kids care about their right to live. These kids are literally saying enough is enough. It has been almost 20 years since Columbine and nothing of real consequence has been done. There has been no laws passed to keep children safe. It has been over 5 years since Sandy Hook... a mass attack that killed dozens of babies and nothing was done. NOTHING!. How is that possible?

Unconditional Love… and you.

Katrina Russell

We never think about the damage that self deprecation actually causes. We think that we're helping. Next time you find yourself hearing these words in your head think about how you would feel if someone ever said them to your kids or your parents. Think about whether or not you would ever say those words to someone you love... and... don't you deserve the same love?

Bulling the victims of school shootings… really? Who’s the adult?

Katrina Russell

These children have the right to defend themselves. These children have to right to share their experiences. These children have the right to feel safe in their home away from home. In the place where they are supposed to be concentrating on learning so they can become the leaders of tomorrow. They should never feel as though they  need to be looking over their shoulders at their classmates in fear of their lives. And shame on you for not understanding that. Shame on you for blaming the victim for just wanting to be safe. For just wanting to live. You don't have to share their opinions, but you do have to respect their lives.

If we can’t take your guns can you at least give us health-care.

Katrina Russell

People and politicians complain about it not being their problem to take care of others... yet it kind of is. The population at large is definitely the politicians problem. It's their job to keep us alive. It's their job to keep the economy running. Part of keeping us alive, aside from making bigger and bigger guns, is making sure that we have access to doctors and medicine and.. even better.. preventative care. Part of keeping the economy running is making sure that people are healthy enough to work, and not losing their jobs over long term illnesses or injuries or losing their houses to overwhelming dept due to both.

I believe in the constitution as it is written… the 2nd Amendment included, not just anyone can have a gun.

Katrina Russell

Here's the thing, the Bill of Rights is just that. A Bill, and like other bills they can be changed and repealed. So if you don't want to follow the ACTUAL guidelines to the Bill then you can face the consequences. But you know who shouldn't face consequences from your inability to understand laws, rules, and regulations? 1300 kids a year.

We need to stop fighting against and start fighting for!

Katrina Russell

Right now all that we are showing is that we are just as hateful as the other side. I don't think that's the message that we want to put forward. No one wants to be told that they're stupid, that they're wrong, or that they made a crappy choice. People are going to defend their choice till their last breath to save face. Instead of pointing out all the reasons we hate Trump. Instead of pointing out all the reasons that his supporters are evil and stupid, let's concentrate on finding people who represent the things that we want. Let's show ourselves and Trump supporters another way.

Why is Atheism Suddenly a Movement… part 2

Katrina Russell

I'm not here to say that everyone should believe in Christ. I'm not here to say that if you disagree with a practice of a church that you shouldn't fight against it. There is a difference between an organized religion, and a spiritual hope. You don't have to want more... you don't have to need to feel connected.... but why tear others down who do? There is no proof either way and many unanswered questions. Many scientist believe in some sort of God... who are you to say otherwise?
