Speaker 1: Hey, fam I'm Jada Pinkett Smith and this is the
Speaker 1: Red Table Pop podcast, all your favorite episodes from the
Speaker 1: Facebook Watch show in audio, produced by Westbrook Audio and
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Please don't forget to rate and review
Speaker 1: on Apple podcasts. As we are witnessing our black men
Speaker 1: being murdered in the streets, very rarely do we talk
Speaker 1: about the women who are left behind, grief stricken and shattered.
Speaker 1: George Floyd has a six year old daughter, a sister,
Speaker 1: a girlfriend, a maud, a very, a mother, a sister.
Speaker 1: Both men have countless heartbroken women, aunt's, cousins, friends in
Speaker 1: their lives who love them. We are dedicating this Red
Speaker 1: Table Talk to how gun violence affects women, and we're
Speaker 1: starting the conversation with my beautiful little sister Lauren London
Speaker 1: to talk about the traumas of gun violence and how
Speaker 1: she's helping other women through loss and grief. Lauren lost
Speaker 1: her life partner, visionary and artist Nipsey Hustle, when he
Speaker 1: was gunned down outside his l a clothing store. Lauren
Speaker 1: had been in a relationship with nip for six years.
Speaker 1: They share a son together. My pain is for my
Speaker 1: two year old day. I probably won't remember how much
Speaker 1: his dad loved. Since Nipsey's passing, Lauren has remained committed
Speaker 1: to keeping his legacy alive. Grief is the final act
Speaker 1: of love. I'm so grateful that I had you. And
Speaker 1: until we meet again, the marathon continued. Here we are, here,
Speaker 1: we go, Yes, Lauren, Hi, mamma, thank you. So you've
Speaker 1: lost someone who is very close to you, who is
Speaker 1: a public figure, and you're a public figure, and having
Speaker 1: to go out into the world. What can people do
Speaker 1: to be helpful? I love to meet people that nip
Speaker 1: has like really inspired because it feels like he's still
Speaker 1: here even though he is in a way, but um,
Speaker 1: it's like his purpose that was completely outside of any
Speaker 1: of us. His purpose. He's touching people still. And I
Speaker 1: find that when I run into people that tell me
Speaker 1: how he's changed your life, what they're doing with their
Speaker 1: life right now, Like it feels me up. Yeah, like, oh,
Speaker 1: he would have loved to hear that, you know, And
Speaker 1: it fills me up. And when my kids are there
Speaker 1: and my kids here, they're like proud, like man, you know,
Speaker 1: those are always very special moments. What would be some
Speaker 1: of the things you could offer to other people who
Speaker 1: are warning the loss of a significant other. You know,
Speaker 1: there's been lost. For me. What's really been important connecting
Speaker 1: with God. Uh. And that's been a struggle because something
Speaker 1: horrible happens in your eyes and you're like, how God?
Speaker 1: You know? And knowing that there is life after this life.
Speaker 1: It's not easy. I don't always wake up on the
Speaker 1: enlightened side of the bed, you know, in the days
Speaker 1: that I don't, I let myself because I'm human, and
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not always gonna feel so this is
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be okay. I don't and that's okay too.
Speaker 1: So I let myself be human. I'm gentle with myself
Speaker 1: and I m find things that matter, and so I
Speaker 1: try to live with the purpose. You know, when I'm
Speaker 1: having a bad day, I meditate, I go within. What
Speaker 1: about your community, like your your network of family and friends.
Speaker 1: I think it's important for people that love you to
Speaker 1: remind you on who you are because trauma and violence
Speaker 1: and just life can make you feel down. So to
Speaker 1: have people that love you that remind you like, no,
Speaker 1: you know you matter and you'll be okay and that
Speaker 1: you can do this. That's been very important for me.
Speaker 1: People that see me like my heart being around me
Speaker 1: is really important and it's been even outside of my
Speaker 1: family and like the people that I know personally, um
Speaker 1: just loved it has been very helpful. So you're raising
Speaker 1: two black boys as a mother, like, what are some
Speaker 1: of your precautions are, like some of your messaging. What
Speaker 1: I instill in them is more about the police, got it,
Speaker 1: how to handle yourself when you get pulled over. That's
Speaker 1: more of my education, Yes, protecting them being black men
Speaker 1: in America. When would you say was the first time
Speaker 1: that you can remember that you were affected by gun violence?
Speaker 1: Just growing up in l A in the area that
Speaker 1: I was around, just in high school, a lot of
Speaker 1: the boys were in gangs, and I remember that a
Speaker 1: lot of our friends that by summertime, you know, they
Speaker 1: were gone, they had transition from gun violence. So you
Speaker 1: kind of got a little bit I don' wouldn't say numb,
Speaker 1: but used to hearing it. Yeah, I think for me
Speaker 1: it was kind of like middle school, high school. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it just became unfortunately like a norm. But
Speaker 1: even going to like a party in high school, you know,
Speaker 1: you would like putting your life in the man and
Speaker 1: you you always like walked in you knew where the
Speaker 1: exit was because you knew at any time you know,
Speaker 1: something could jump on, something can happen, especially house parties.
Speaker 1: That's traumatizing to be sixteen years old having to be
Speaker 1: on guard when you go into a party. You just
Speaker 1: get used to figuring out how to keep yourself safe
Speaker 1: in these environments. And I try to tell people all
Speaker 1: the time, it's like most of us grow up in
Speaker 1: war zones. And I did not even really realize that
Speaker 1: until my life changed. When I started to look at
Speaker 1: how my kids were growing up versus me, and then
Speaker 1: me trying to train them in a way, I was like,
Speaker 1: but no, they don't. That's not their reality. They don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about that, they have that guard up.
Speaker 1: One of my best friends her first time, you know,
Speaker 1: she was four years old, four or five, and her
Speaker 1: uncle got shot and killed in front of her on
Speaker 1: the porch, you know, And so she carries that, I'm
Speaker 1: so grateful for you, because I wouldn't have known about
Speaker 1: Erica Ford without you. I was doing an event with
Speaker 1: Puma in New York and a part of the event
Speaker 1: was that we were going to donate some money and
Speaker 1: close to an organization and a friend of mine brought
Speaker 1: up Erica and I go do some research and like
Speaker 1: the first five seconds, I was like, this is it.
Speaker 1: They were practicing the same ideas and practices that I
Speaker 1: do in my everyday life. I was able to go
Speaker 1: and talk to the girls. It was a group of
Speaker 1: girls that were affected from gun violence. They lost fathers, brothers,
Speaker 1: and they're traumatized by that. We could all relate together.
Speaker 1: We were all grounded and solid together from by gun violence. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: because you feel the medicine of you actually being there
Speaker 1: with them and being able to share your process of healing.
Speaker 1: Oh man, they healed me in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: because you know, I think trauma feels so lonely, and
Speaker 1: just in talking to them, they gave me so much
Speaker 1: more than I feel like I gave to them. They
Speaker 1: gave me just their stories and just there like rawness,
Speaker 1: and it made me not feel so alone. And it
Speaker 1: was very magical. It was magical, it was very healing.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, this is what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 1: I was like, Nips, super proud. You would have loved her.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Oh are you to you know what? The
Speaker 1: The interview with Lauren was so moving and I could
Speaker 1: really really relate to what she was saying because we
Speaker 1: have family members that are going through trauma right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And one of the things that she said that was
Speaker 1: so important to me and really clicked in my head
Speaker 1: was trauma feels so lonely. That was really important for
Speaker 1: me to hear because if you haven't been through it,
Speaker 1: if you're not actually going through it, you really don't
Speaker 1: know what that feels like. And as we all are
Speaker 1: trying to understand and help and and be there, we
Speaker 1: don't we don't know what the other person is really feeling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think sometimes it's just great to just show that
Speaker 1: you're there. So, as Lauren shared, one of the women
Speaker 1: she is most inspired by is Erica Ford. Erica has
Speaker 1: devoted her life to end gun violence and created the Peacemobile,
Speaker 1: a big orange bus she turned into a mobile trauma unit.
Speaker 1: Erica Ford is a woman on a mission what's going
Speaker 1: on day and night. She and her team risked their
Speaker 1: lives to save lives. Whenever there's a shooting or violence,
Speaker 1: her Peace Bus is on the scene to intervene, going
Speaker 1: into these hot spots mediating conflict. When we look at
Speaker 1: the number of mothers who've lost their sons to gun
Speaker 1: violence in America. It is horrific. Erica also started a
Speaker 1: camp for at risk youth dealing with trauma and anger. Exactly,
Speaker 1: let me tell you what we're not gonna have. No no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no. Let me tell you what we're not
Speaker 1: As always, Erica keeps the peace. What we're not gonna
Speaker 1: have is you being disrespectful, trying to go past and
Speaker 1: do anything inside here. Do you understand what I'm saying. Yes,
Speaker 1: our mission to provide young people with the tools that
Speaker 1: they need to change their life. Real people are getting killed.
Speaker 1: Let's make peace in these streets. Stop the violence. Let
Speaker 1: me start by saying, I love your hair's powerful, powerful
Speaker 1: handclap for you, yes, yeah, for real, because you are
Speaker 1: in it, in it, in it, in it in. Can
Speaker 1: you explain how gun violence affects women? First, the trauma
Speaker 1: of losing your soul mate, right and then having to
Speaker 1: raise your children. And I see women stop living. I
Speaker 1: see them losing their lives from a broken heart, and
Speaker 1: so we teach them how to move past that pain.
Speaker 1: If you help the mother hill, you helped save the family,
Speaker 1: You helped change the family, you helped change generations, You
Speaker 1: helped change the world. We work for the people who
Speaker 1: are pulling the trigger, and we work for the people
Speaker 1: who are the victims. We gotta work with everybody because
Speaker 1: they're all victims of generational trauma. You know. So how
Speaker 1: did you come up with this idea of the peace bus.
Speaker 1: We want to pull up with peace, you know, and
Speaker 1: we want peace to flood the streets in a way
Speaker 1: that it becomes a constant in your mind. And so
Speaker 1: you see it, you live it, you believe it's subliminally
Speaker 1: it becomes part of you. And so you can't overlook
Speaker 1: that big orange bus. And actually I was googling tour
Speaker 1: buses and so will's toll buses and use that as
Speaker 1: a symbol to you know, we gotta get you one
Speaker 1: of those. That's fire. You know. We need to have
Speaker 1: a mobile trauma unit. We pull up on situation, just
Speaker 1: like the police pulls up with their you know unit.
Speaker 1: It has to start in the streets first. You know,
Speaker 1: violence is a disease. When you look at the disease
Speaker 1: of violence, it impacts those around you. One of the
Speaker 1: ways Erica makes peaces by bringing together used to face
Speaker 1: former gang members and mothers whose children have been victims
Speaker 1: of gun violence. We're just gonna sit right here. Primo
Speaker 1: grew up on these streets, in and out of gangs.
Speaker 1: In jail, he's been shot twice. Now Eric is trying
Speaker 1: to help him break free from the cycle of violence.
Speaker 1: But it's not easy. I walk around with these demons
Speaker 1: every day. I wanted to do certain things to certain people.
Speaker 1: I might have gonna lie to you. Do you know
Speaker 1: what it's like, toad, to watch my bag, to go
Speaker 1: to the corner store. Do you know what it's like
Speaker 1: to tell my daughter we're not going down that block.
Speaker 1: I lost my whole life from these streets, lost my
Speaker 1: family to these streets. And I hear you and I
Speaker 1: feel your pain, right, But where do we go? Because
Speaker 1: if we don't change the trajectory, then it's just mean
Speaker 1: more people diet. To give Primo a wake up call,
Speaker 1: she introduces him to a grief ricken mother now Orleans.
Speaker 1: Son was shot five times at point blank range. I
Speaker 1: wanted him to hear your story because we were having
Speaker 1: a conversation just about the impact of gun violence and
Speaker 1: gang violence on mother's and women. It's like, good, you
Speaker 1: know my son like he's got shot August thirty a
Speaker 1: multiple times. I'm still hurting. I don't know if my
Speaker 1: son is gonna walk again. You have a mother. You
Speaker 1: don't want to put your mother through that. You don't
Speaker 1: have to prove anything to no one, and I understand
Speaker 1: that you have to strive, struggle and survive. But not
Speaker 1: with a gun Flocks, not with a gun Bucks. At
Speaker 1: the same time that your son was shot, I lost
Speaker 1: three friends in the same day, Jesus. But I probably
Speaker 1: would have thrown a little bit more about certain things
Speaker 1: if I would have at a conversation with a mother
Speaker 1: like you've seen, how the pain help me realize what
Speaker 1: changes I need to make and never stop to think
Speaker 1: about the con the consequences and the people that are
Speaker 1: left behind. What would you say to all the people
Speaker 1: watching how we can help stop gun violence. We got
Speaker 1: to change the culture of how we relate to each other.
Speaker 1: You've got to change the culture again. And that's what
Speaker 1: people can do, like stop making that stupidness cool, like
Speaker 1: yoga and how we speak to each other. You know,
Speaker 1: it's so important. I think I get overwhelmed because there's
Speaker 1: so much violence and and trauma in the world. There's
Speaker 1: a lot that happens with those one bullets. You know
Speaker 1: that that no one ever thinks about. You know, no
Speaker 1: one ever goes down that long line of where this
Speaker 1: bullet is going to end up, in the impact that
Speaker 1: it's going to have on so many people. It is
Speaker 1: like one step at a time, one day at a time,
Speaker 1: like you can't tackle the whole. The marathon continues, right,
Speaker 1: and so we are the marathon. Thank you, so inspiring.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Every single month, in average of fifty two
Speaker 1: women are shot and killed by an intimate partner. Nearly
Speaker 1: one million women alive today have reported being shot. The
Speaker 1: beautiful Brianna Taylor was struck by eight bullets while sleeping
Speaker 1: in her own home, and four point five million women
Speaker 1: report being threatened by a gun. Before Rain's Tippic, she
Speaker 1: never even saw it coming. Rain loved to dance from
Speaker 1: the time she was a toddler all the way to adulthood.
Speaker 1: But that all changed one night when an unidentified gunman
Speaker 1: fired over twenty bullets into her car. She had been
Speaker 1: shot in the back eight times with less than a
Speaker 1: five percent chance to live. It really didn't expect her,
Speaker 1: and they replaced oliver blood five times in the first
Speaker 1: six hours or so, but then her heart stopped. She
Speaker 1: was dead for a full minute. Doctors were able to
Speaker 1: bring Rain back to life. He said she would never
Speaker 1: walk or dance again. All right, we have Rain here
Speaker 1: with us today. Rain, come join the table. Wow, little
Speaker 1: twirl for you. All right, guys, I have a seat.
Speaker 1: Wow from someone who they didn't expect to even survive,
Speaker 1: and you come out with a twirl. You came life
Speaker 1: with a twirl. Girl, don't stand still. So you have
Speaker 1: made a miraculous that's like a miracle. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I am a medical miracle. That's doctors tell me a
Speaker 1: five percent chance to live and I am here walking, talking, eating,
Speaker 1: breathing with you today and twirling. How many surgeries did
Speaker 1: you have in that first twenty four hours? It was fourteen.
Speaker 1: They took my left kidney, my spleen, my pendix, small intestine, colon,
Speaker 1: and bowel. There was holes in my liver, holes in
Speaker 1: my stomach that took a third of my pancreas, and
Speaker 1: my back was fractured at L three and O five
Speaker 1: and uh. After that, the first week was really touch
Speaker 1: and go. They weren't sure if I was going to
Speaker 1: wake up or not. And all of a sudden, one
Speaker 1: of my nurses told my family she got into work
Speaker 1: that morning and I was sitting up, breathing, smiling, talking.
Speaker 1: It was a long road. I mean, don't kid yourself
Speaker 1: like that. There was a point in time where I
Speaker 1: couldn't even hold a toothbrush. It was a long effort
Speaker 1: and finally getting back to a dancer by trade. So
Speaker 1: I'm getting back to teaching and dancing again. And they
Speaker 1: never figured out they had two men in custody for
Speaker 1: a while, but it's something that they currently just speculate
Speaker 1: that it was a random gang initiation because they didn't
Speaker 1: take the car, they didn't rob us, we didn't see
Speaker 1: who it was, the fact that the shooting was just
Speaker 1: completely random, Like, how do you wrap your mind around that?
Speaker 1: Because then I'm in my mind, I'm like, then how
Speaker 1: am I safe? Well? And as a woman, you were
Speaker 1: conditioned to look over your shoulder when you're walking down
Speaker 1: the street. You're conditioned to maybe that car drove by
Speaker 1: two times, don't walk your dog at night. There's things
Speaker 1: that we are already dealing with as women as it is.
Speaker 1: So I know for myself, I'm not as trustworthy of
Speaker 1: people in everyday situations anymore because it's it was so
Speaker 1: random and who would have thought that just this random night,
Speaker 1: I was gonna get shot in the back eight times.
Speaker 1: The person that you were with they survived. Yes, Um,
Speaker 1: he had a bullet go through his hand and his
Speaker 1: shoulder and one actually went through my back into his leg. Wow,
Speaker 1: So you really got the brunt of it. Yes, I
Speaker 1: was like a human shield. Wow. I feel like I'm
Speaker 1: sitting here literally with a miracle. Yeah, honestly, And just
Speaker 1: how like You're just radiant, like you're you're smiling, you
Speaker 1: have this air about you that is just so amazing.
Speaker 1: I have to say it was the support that I had,
Speaker 1: Like my sister literally slept in the hospital with me
Speaker 1: eighty somehow days out of the days I was there,
Speaker 1: she was playing chakra music and we were doing word
Speaker 1: in meditations and things while I was laying You posted
Speaker 1: a really empowering photo of yourself on social media. What
Speaker 1: was your motivation for that? The photo that I posted.
Speaker 1: It started out honestly that I just this is what
Speaker 1: people need to see. I'm still me, I really am.
Speaker 1: I'm happy, I'm confident, I'm going to continue to push
Speaker 1: forward with what I'm doing. And if I can give
Speaker 1: that back to people and show them give them a motivation.
Speaker 1: I have strangers that message me and just to say
Speaker 1: thank you for sharing and for being inspiring. There was
Speaker 1: plenty of days that I was struggling that I would
Speaker 1: just cry and defeat because how did this happen to me? Like?
Speaker 1: What what happened? That? This is? This is what became
Speaker 1: my normal. And I don't want that for anybody else ever,
Speaker 1: No one should have to experience this what my family
Speaker 1: and I have been through. It's it's unfathomable and it's
Speaker 1: there's no actual words that you can describe this process
Speaker 1: of mourning and grieving. Because you are mourning this lie
Speaker 1: that you once had and grieving through this. What would
Speaker 1: be the message that you would give other people to
Speaker 1: help them keep going. I just want to tell them
Speaker 1: there's gonna be bad days, and I want people to
Speaker 1: understand that if you can accept the fact that there
Speaker 1: are bad days, that also means that you're going to
Speaker 1: have good ones. And once you have a good one,
Speaker 1: you're alive to have a good one. Take it one
Speaker 1: day at a time, one second, one minute, one hour,
Speaker 1: one day, because if everything can change an instant like
Speaker 1: it did, what can happen in twenty four hours. You
Speaker 1: just don't anything is possible. You better preach the word today.
Speaker 1: I'm just flabergasted. I mean yeah, and I mean as
Speaker 1: a young beautiful woman to go through this, but really
Speaker 1: find your power, power, Yes, your strength, Yes, find superhero story. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My doctors were calling me the woman of Steel in
Speaker 1: the hospital because they just kept going and I've taken Yeah.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for being here, you for me.
Speaker 1: Every sixteen hours, a woman is killed by our current
Speaker 1: or former intimate partner. An abusers access to firearms increases
Speaker 1: the risk of homicide, but at least four Danny Robinson
Speaker 1: knows this all too well. Danny was shot five times
Speaker 1: at point blake range by her ex boyfriend and lived
Speaker 1: to tell about it. Tell us what happened, Danny. I
Speaker 1: never ever thought that I would ever be a victim
Speaker 1: of gun violence, you know, I mean, I was shot
Speaker 1: five times. I was with a man for about six years,
Speaker 1: and throughout our relationship there were some signs that he
Speaker 1: was a little controlling. He was possessive, verbally abused me,
Speaker 1: emotionally abused me, and I had two daughters with him,
Speaker 1: and um I finally left him. I decided I was
Speaker 1: done with him. I was going to have him control
Speaker 1: me anymore. He had made this calm it to me,
Speaker 1: and he said something to the fact that he was
Speaker 1: going to hurt me with a gun. I said, what
Speaker 1: are you saying that you're going to kill me. You
Speaker 1: can't get a gun, and he said, well, you'd be
Speaker 1: surprised what you can find on the street. And when
Speaker 1: he said that to me, I knew that something was wrong.
Speaker 1: I called the police department and they said, well, there's
Speaker 1: nothing we can do about it. And I told my sisters,
Speaker 1: I said, I'm scared, like and they're, oh, no, he's
Speaker 1: just trying to scare you. I'm like, no, no, this
Speaker 1: is different. This is really different. Because I went and
Speaker 1: I got a restraining order and I didn't hear from
Speaker 1: him for a couple of weeks. And I drove home
Speaker 1: and I pulled up in the driveway and I was
Speaker 1: getting out of my car, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I just felt this huge, like like breeze, just like
Speaker 1: blow me over. And it was him. And I had
Speaker 1: my daughters in the back of the car and they
Speaker 1: were still in their car seats, and I said, what
Speaker 1: are you doing here? And he told me that we
Speaker 1: needed to have a conversation, and I said, I'm not
Speaker 1: going anywhere with you. I saw my grandfather in the
Speaker 1: house getting ready for dinner. I decided that I needed
Speaker 1: to get away from the house so he would not
Speaker 1: hurt my grandfather or my daughter's and I walked a
Speaker 1: few houses down with him, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: there was this white van and he opened it up,
Speaker 1: and I just remember hearing that sound of the van,
Speaker 1: that the rolling on the door exactly, and he tried
Speaker 1: to pull me into the van, and at that moment,
Speaker 1: I screamed and I started to fight back, and he
Speaker 1: was holding me, and I was shot two times, and
Speaker 1: from there I fell on the ground. I fell on
Speaker 1: my back and he stood over me and he shot
Speaker 1: me three more times, point blank in my stomach. Um.
Speaker 1: I went to the hospital. I was in intensive care
Speaker 1: for about three days. While he was on the run.
Speaker 1: My focus was about living for my daughters. Like when
Speaker 1: I was on the ground and I was burning, and
Speaker 1: I smelled that I was going to live for my girls.
Speaker 1: So where's your ex Now? He's in state prison. He
Speaker 1: got twenty five years, he didn't get a life sentence.
Speaker 1: He is getting out in two thousand twenty four, so
Speaker 1: he's only going to be serving about twenty one years
Speaker 1: and that's soon. How does it make you feel? I
Speaker 1: feel strong. I'm not afraid of him. I do have
Speaker 1: a lifetime restraining order on him. He does still send
Speaker 1: my daughter's letters. He's tried to have a relationship with
Speaker 1: my daughters. I mean, of course, I struggle with a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, I hear the slam of a
Speaker 1: rolling door, I remember smelling the bullets and my flesh,
Speaker 1: and so when I when I there's a fire, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh it does it triggers that? So I do have
Speaker 1: my you know, every everyday PST issues that come up.
Speaker 1: But it's important that you're not living your life and fear.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not. No, I am not doing that. Do you
Speaker 1: talk to your daughters about warning signs and relationships? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I've taught them. Nobody talks down to you there to
Speaker 1: respect you. What would be some of the advice that
Speaker 1: you would give women who may be in relationships that
Speaker 1: aren't healthy or even dangerous. Listen to your gut. Listen
Speaker 1: to your woman's intuition because it is always right on,
Speaker 1: but you you have to listen to it. Yeah, sometimes
Speaker 1: you think, oh, I'm being extreme. You know, he would
Speaker 1: never It's just like it doesn't matter. Just listen to
Speaker 1: that one. Well, thank you so much for sharing your stories.
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. I hope that you can
Speaker 1: make a difference. It's just such an epidemic right today.
Speaker 1: I really wanted to take the time to really refle
Speaker 1: act on how women from all walks of life are
Speaker 1: affected by gun violence, and how we're affected by gunbalnce.
Speaker 1: It's not just in like a certain demographic of certain
Speaker 1: everywhere everywhere. Yeah, that is really apparent now, which is
Speaker 1: why gun control was so important. It's just amazing to
Speaker 1: me that we can't you know, see it's straight now.
Speaker 1: They can't keep waiting for the world to change, like
Speaker 1: we have to make the change. To make the change.
