Organizing Response

Aikido training helps us prepare effective response to violence but how to respond to the Newtown attack?

Below are a number of links that provide some means of response.  They come from an education newsletter that is also listed at the very bottom.   Perhaps they offer a path to keep moving.

The Newtown Alumni Fund is giving monies donated to the local Rotary Club Fund: (Newtown Alumni Fund, PO Box 3217, Newtown, CT 06470)

If you want to act, do something kind and share it via #26Acts, tweets about acts of kindness in memory of those lost.

And if you want to take a small step toward making our communities safer, join One Million Moms for Gun Control and write your Senators and Representatives.

Sensei Don often said Aikido is a discipline of action not passivity.  Here is an essay I had broadcast on the subject of Newtown.
