Description

In this episode, Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, joins 19th reporter, Jennifer Gerson, to discuss the powerful role of White suburban women in the fight against gun violence. Having played a key role in shifting the culture of gun violence, Shannon knows how White women can best serve movements that disproportionately impact communities of color. Shannon explains that no matter the outcome of the election, gun reform needs grassroots activism in the face of legislative inaction.

This election year, our democracy hangs in the balance. We need news coverage that cuts past punditry and gives a voice to the new electorate – the marginalized folks that depend on a functioning democracy. Enter: The Amendment, a new podcast about gender, politics and power from The 19th News and Wonder Media Network, hosted by award-winning journalist and 19th editor-at-large Errin Haines. Each week, Errin sits down with people who have fresh perspectives on the state of our country – and asks questions that center the voices of women, queer folks, and people of color. The Amendment adds much needed asterisks to America’s most pressing political conversations – and gets clear on the unfinished work of our democracy.  Hosted on Acast.
