On Wednesday night, Biden announced the sweeping, New Deal-like $1.8 trillion American Families Plan an unprecedented federal investment in education, childcare, and paid family leave which would be paid for by raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. In that same speech, his first address to Congress, Biden urged Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act by next month, the first anniversary of George Floyd’s death. The bill seeks to end certain deadly police techniques at the federal level and improve training, as well as ban no-knock warrants in federal drug cases, end “qualified immunity,” and create a national police misconduct registry. He also urged Congress to act on gun legislation in the wake of multiple mass shootings, specifically calling out the Senate Republicans who are stalling the process.

But for DeAndra Dycus, Pamela Wooden, Brenda Hutson and other members of Purpose 4 My Pain, the turmoil is more personal. They’ve all lost children to gun violence. It’s a club whose membership they wouldn’t wish on anyone, so when they heard the news that eight more families were now experiencing the same pain, Dycus said they knew they needed to act.
“I wanted to show solidarity in our community, because we’re tired,” Dycus said. “Enough is enough. And I wanted families who have been impacted by gun violence to know their community is here to support them.”
