Ending gun violence in America’s schools

In this episode, I talk to two of the people working to end gun violence in American schools. <br /><br />Sari Kaufman survived the school shooting as a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. She was a lead organizer of the March For Our Lives and a co-founder of the MyVote Project, a student-led education organization to educate voters. She is currently a sophomore at Yale University, studying political science. <br /><br />Shannon Watts founded Mom's Demand Action in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting which killed 26 children and educators in 2012. The organization is a leading force for gun violence prevention, working at the local, state and national levels and with chapters in all 50 states <br /><br />Our conversation comes on the heels of the most recent US school shooting which took the lives of 4 young people and injured 7 more. The incident, which happened on the last day of November in Oakland County, Michigan was the deadliest event at a US  campus since 2018. It was the 32nd such attack since August.<br /><br />Shannon Watts<br />Instagram: instagram.com/shannonrwatts/<br />Twitter: twitter.com/shannonrwatts<br /><br />Sari Kaufman<br />Twitter: twitter.com/SariKaufman11<br /><br />You can follow Jessica Yellin here:<br />Instagram: instagram.com/jessicayellin​<br />Twitter: twitter.com/jessicayellin<br />Website: NewsNotNoise.com<br />Newsletter: newsnotnoise.bulletin.com<br /><br />Support this work:<br />patreon.com/NewsNotNoise<br /><br />Jessica Yellin is the founder of News Not Noise, a channel dedicated to giving you news with real experts and providing information, not a panic attack. <br /><br />Jessica is a veteran of network news, traveling the globe, covering conflict and crisis.
