Cownie held a moment of silence for the victims. He said he spoke to their family members."But there is little one can say that will lessen their pain. Nothing that can be said to bring them back, those who were killed so senselessly.” The Starts Right Here program, which helps at-risk youth in grades 9-12, was founded in 2021 by Keeps.
According to the program’s website, one of Keeps' songs, “Wake Up Iowa” sends a message that “violence and hate are not the Iowa way, and instead, we need to learn from other cities’ mistakes, so we don’t end up being ravaged by violence and crime.”
