Shannon Watts *Moms Demand Action* Social Justice Power Hour!
In the wake of yet another tragic school shooting, we are pre-empting our regularly scheduled show to replay this extraordinary conversation with Shannon & Alex from Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America
We can find hope even in this dark moment, as Shannon espouses, “You may not see yourself as an agent of change. Yet. After all, you’re probably plenty busy taking care of your kids & making a living. You might think you don’t have the time, energy, or guts to be an activist…Stop that! You have so much potential to effect change - more than you know.”
Shannon Watts
Founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America~ the leading force for gun violence prevention, with chapters in all 50 states & a powerful grassroots network of moms that has successfully effected change at the local, state & national level. In 2013, Moms Demand Action partnered with Mayors Against Illegal Guns to form Everytown for Gun Safety, a nationwide movement of millions of Americans working together to end the epidemic of gun violence. Shannon is an active board member of Emerge, one of the nation’s leading organizations for recruiting & training women to run for office, as well as the author of "Fight Like a Mother" & her writing has appeared in Vogue, Refinery 29, Time, The Washington Post, The Hill, & many others. She is also a mother of five & the NRA's worst nightmare!
As a bonus, we also welcomed Alex Navarro, Moms Demand Action - CA City Gun Violence Co-Lead, Latina member of the LGBTQIA community, & mom of two young children.
Join Shannon, Alex, & & our own BRCSJ Chief Activist Robt Seda-Schreiber in virtual community-buildin' conversation empowering even in this dark moment, full of hope of what we can achieve together & how we can all make a difference~
