John–
While we social distance and do what we can to ensure our safety, we want to make sure that we stay engaged. Gun violence continues across the country, and in some cases, COVID-19 has introduced new risks into the gun violence crisis.
That's why I'm excited to announce our new virtual series: "Demanding Women: Quarantine Conversations About Gun Violence."
For decades, women have been at the forefront of social justice and public safety issues, and this moment is no different. Over the course of our new series, I'll be speaking with leading women in American politics on how to demand a better, safer world for every person in the United States.
My first conversation will be with Stacey Abrams on Tuesday, April 28 at 12 p.m. EDT. We'll be joined by John Yang, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice. Together, we'll discuss the disproportionate impact of gun violence and coronavirus on Black and brown communities and rising hate and racism experienced by the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities during the pandemic.
The series will be livestreamed on Facebook and Twitter. RSVP now for Tuesday's conversation.
I hope you can join us
John, thank you for being a part of this movement. Be well and stay safe.
