Hey John, I recently had the privilege of joining the Rev. Al Sharpton’s show on MSNBC where we discussed a range of topics including reproductive rights, gun violence prevention, and the new Georgia Congressional maps that were just signed by Gov. Brian Kemp. You can watch the interview here.
Later in the interview, Rev. Sharpton tells the story of when we first met over a decade ago. John, I think you’ll find it compelling. Before I got involved in activism and politics, I worked as a flight attendant for many years. One day, I noticed Rev. Sharpton was a passenger on the flight I was working. This was shortly after my son Jordan had been shot and killed. I knew I couldn’t miss this opportunity to share my story with one of the most influential figures in the country sitting right in front of me. On that flight, I implored Rev. Sharpton to do something with Jordan’s story. I’m forever grateful to him for listening to me that day and using his platform to call for an end to gun violence. I learned the lesson that change will only come from folks like me raising our voices. Thanks for reading and watching, Lucy
