​Within the last few days, two California communities (Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay) have experienced tragic shootings. One of the shootings coincided with the Lunar New Year celebrations and the other seemed related to a workplace grievance. Full details and explanations are pending. What is known is that our Asian American and Hispanic American friends, family and associates were directly impacted.
We do not need to wait for all the particulars to be forthcoming to know that such public acts of violence affect all of us. From that perspective, Reiss-Davis Graduate School extends sympathies to those who were hurt or killed, and to their loved ones ... and to all who are reeling from these most recent incidents of gun-related losses.
Our colleagues at Vista Del Mar and Reiss-Davis have located some resources that may be useful to those impacted by these tragedies, their support systems, as well as professionals who are assisting with recovery:

• Asian Pacific Counseling Center
• Noted child specialist and parent educator, Betsy Brown Braun
• Support Services for Monterey Park Victims through Los Angeles County
• “Coping with Mass Violence,” a talk by Dr. Richard Espinoza sponsored by the Los Angeles Public Library and Los Angeles County Psychological Association scheduled for February 18

Reiss-Davis will continue to monitor both situations. As a learning community, we remain steadfast in our determination to educate our students, colleagues and the broader community, to better understand what seems incomprehensible, to interrupt the pathways that may lead people towards violence, and to develop more effective means of prevention.

Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is an American federal observance recognizing the adoption of the United States Constitution and those who have become U.S. citizens by birth or naturalization. It was written in 1787 and ratified in 1788.  The United States Constitution is in operation since 1789 and represents world's longest surviving written charter of government. The first three words —"We the People"— affirm that the government of the United States exists to serve its citizens. The Constitution defines the structure of our federal government.
