On June 10, 2025, my beautiful daughter, Kiara Sewell-Joiner, was tragically taken from our family in a senseless act of violence. 
 
 
 No parent should EVER have to bury their child. 
 
 
 I refuse to let Kiara's story end with a tragedy. 
 
 
 In her memory, I am launching a grassroots campaign to place the Kiara Sewell-Joiner Act on the 2027 Washington state ballot. This act aims to strengthen protections for victims and families, promote greater accountability, and improve public safety in our community. 
 
 
 386,000 SIGNATURES. 
 
 One Movement. One Community. One Purpose. 
 
 
 Every dollar raised will help cover the cost of printing petition sheets, paper, ink, copying, clipboards, signature supplies, educational flyers, outreach materials, transportation for signature collection, and event expenses. Your support will directly fuel our efforts to gather signatures and raise awareness, ensuring that Kiara’s legacy inspires positive change for others. 
 
 
 I’ve never led a statewide campaign before, but I am determined to honor my daughter the best way I know how. If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something bigger than yourself, this is your opportunity. I can’t do this alone. I need volunteers, sponsors, churches, businesses, organizations, and people who believe that one life can inspire change. My first signature collection event is Fourth of July weekend. Whether you can volunteer, sponsor printing, collect signatures, or simply share this campaign, you could help make a difference. Will you stand with me?
