Summary
TW: Gun Violence
In light of yet another mass shooting, this time at an Elementary School in Texas, your hosts discuss gun violence and the need for it to be examined as a public health crisis. They highlight the reality that mass shootings, while devastating, are still just a small part of the picture, as gun violence is a daily reality for many. The ease at which people can purchase weapons is alarming, especially considering guns are the leading method for suicide in America. Thinking of gun violence as a public health issue would bring this fact into more discussions. Jackie discusses her career in Chicago, and the horrible reality of gun violence in that city — disproportionately so for people of color. Lastly, your hosts share ways you can use your voice to speak out and get involved, which they highly encourage.
