Arne Duncan steps up to end mindless violence.  From This Week magazine, "Some 28 different congressional districts have experienced a mass shooting so far this year, when a mass shooting is defined as four or more people shot in an incident. In 2017, more than 180 congressional districts did so- the equivalent of 40% of the House of Representatives" (Noted Section). 

And their section Poll Watch, March 2, 2018, " In a poll conducted after the Parkland Florida shooting, 77% of American say Congress is not doing enough to prevent mass shootings.  62% say President Trump is not doing enough.  Americans are divided on whether or not to bring back the assault-weapons ban that expired in 2004.  50% support restoring the ban,while 46% are opposed.  More than 70% of Republicans and independents supported banning assault weapons in 1999.  Today just 29% of Republicans do cited from the Washington Post/ABC News" 

The Sunday Ted Talk today features new possibilities from inspired action featuring individuals to government leaders.

Then from a high school teacher from Parkland led with her students' call to action to stop senseless mass shootings at school.

It's time to change the sense of helplessness in our country by transmitting "enough is enough" and getting agreement to make a change. We need a commons where we feel safe and sound in a democratic society. But, Ted.com features the design we can all create together of a brighter future through vision and heart.
