INDIANAPOLIS — A mother grieving her child who was taken too soon — a story we are familiar with in Indianapolis.Moms Demand Action did so by lining up 63 pairs of shoes outside of Christ Church Cathedral on Monument Circle — 63 because the group says that is the number of people who have died from gun violence in Indianapolis this year alone.
"We do not do this to make people sad. We are doing this because those victims deserve to be honored and remembered," Simpson said. Moser hopes more people can be encouraged to find a solution to this violence. Moms Demand Action says in their eyes, the solution is simple.Senate Bill 1 would establish a statewide crisis response system to help Hoosiers struggling with a mental health or substance abuse crisis.
