Summer Of Shame Part 1

RADIO GAG - The Gays Against Guns Show

Radio GAG is back after a short break with our Summer Shame episode. The show is all about the very big news in our national conversation about gun violence. We’ve had a Supreme Court ruling on New York State’s hand gun permit process. Our legislature has passed a number of new laws designed to keep us safer. Our federal government has passed bi-partisan gun reform legislation for the first time in more than 20 years to address the crisis of gun violence. This week our country was shocked as gunfire rang out amid the floats and brass marching bands at the Highland Park Fourth of July Parade. Hearts are heavy and protestors have hit the streets, pushing back on the killing of young Jayland Walker in Akron, Ohio by police. Here at home, Azsia Johnson was killed while pushing her young child in a stroller. And seven people gathered to watch that Fourth of July Parade were killed. Our focus this week is on the intersection of these killings and Domestic Violence. Domestic and Family violence play into the heavy toll gun violence takes on our families and communities. Our special guest is Stephanie McGraw from W.A.R.M., We All Really Matter, a domestic violence rescue organization. Hosts: Sarah Germain Lilly and Virginia Vitzhum Contributor: Libby Edwards
