General Hospital News: Vanessa Marcil And Son Work To Unite Us All

General Hospital favorite Vanessa Marcil helped her son do something for a very good and current cause after two sheriff deputies were shot in their patrol cars this past weekend. (Thankfully, the officers survived but are not out of the woods.)

Vanessa Marcil: Bringing People Together

“Today @kassius_marcil_green & @ianward21 made 80 vegan tacos with homemade shells for law enforcement,” Marcil posted to Instagram. “We are uniting with the world today in honor of the 2 officers who are victims of an ambush shooting and in critical condition.

“One a 31 yr old female officer and mother to a 6 yr old & the other officer just 24 years old. Both officers have only been out of the academy and on the force for 1 year. They were both sitting in their patrol car when both were shot in the head, neck and other areas.

“It is bad enough to persevere in barbarism; it is worse to relapse into it, but worst of all is consciously to seek it out. All of the violence and hatred and our broken systems must be replaced with action based in love and empathy For POC, for COPS, for WOMEN, for LGBTQ community, for CHILDREN, for all races, for all classes, for disabilities, for mental health, for all political parties, for victim’s stories, for Mother Nature for our very survival. For human beings.

“All of us with breath in our lungs & tears in our eyes. Let’s stop the violence. Let’s stop the abuse. Let’s STOP NOT listening to each other. How can you reach out today to a group of people who don’t look or FEEL like yourself? Tell me below. Then go do it.”

In a country where parts of it are literally on fire at the moment, maybe a message of unity as The United States of America is what we need. General Hospital (GH) airs weekdays on ABC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
