An elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. A grocery store in East Buffalo, New York. A mall in Allen, Texas. The list of locations where mass shootings have taken place in the United States continues to grow, with gun violence touching every aspect of American life. Even people who have not been directly affected by gun violence still feel trapped by the crisis our nation is enduring and feeling a loss of public safety. On this week’s episode of Our Body Politic, creator and host Farai Chideya focuses on the impact and intersections of gun violence. Plus, a special panel on gun violence and reproductive justice recorded live at Wesleyan University and moderated by OBP guest host and Washington Post columnist, Karen Attiah. Featured guests are Crystal Feimster, associate professor at Yale University; Fairriona Magee, public health reporter at The Trace; Alicia B. Nichols, director of innovation at the Battered Women’s Justice Project; and Kelly Sampson, Senior Counsel and Director of Racial Justice at Brady.
