Why are parents afraid to drop kids off at school? Go to the grocery store? A concert? A church? Gun violence.
And that’s only what makes the news — not the 81 percent of murders involving a gun, and the overall violence that falls heaviest on Black and Brown women.
What do we do? Demand Action.
NOW National President Christian F. Nunes sits down this week with Angela Ferrell-Zabala, the executive director of Moms Demand Action. Together, they talk over guns as a partisan issue, the commonsense policies that could save lives, and how everyone can work to reduce gun violence.
*Producer Note: Please note that this episode contains references to gun violence that some may find disturbing.
