In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia sits down with Ryan Petty — school safety advocate, Florida State Board of Education member, and father of Parkland shooting victim Alaina Petty. Ryan shares his powerful story of loss, faith, and resilience, and how he transformed personal tragedy into a mission to protect America’s children.
We dive deep into what went wrong in Parkland, the systemic failures that cost innocent lives, and how Ryan is working with lawmakers and communities to ensure those mistakes are never repeated. He discusses the role of faith in healing, the dangers of politicizing tragedy, and the real solutions that make a difference in school safety.
This is a conversation about courage, faith, and turning grief into purpose — a must-watch for every parent and American who cares about our future.
