Friend --

For today’s “Lunch and Learn” Series Where They Stand: Our Voices, Our Issues, we are drilling down on candidates’ plans for addressing gun and racial violence.

Addressing gun and racial violence were among the issues Black women identified as key voting issues. Even as hate crimes, mass shootings and urban gun violence are on the rise, a growing number of states are passing dangerous open carry laws and the federal government has refused to enact sensible background check legislation and other measures that would keep guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals. 

Meanwhile, religious and racial hate crimes are on the rise, and an antilynching bill 120 years in the making is making its way through Congress. Here in their own words is how each of the Democratic candidates say they would tackle these issues if elected.

In their own words, the remaining 2020 presidential candidates say how they will address gun and racial violence if elected. 

It’s critical in this election that we form our own opinions and ensure that we don’t let others speak for us.
