Pace e Bene – 12 May 2024

“The communities that are grappling with the highest rates of gun violence are the very same communities with the least resources and are often the most policed. As city and state leaders recognize that a heavy-handed, law-and-order-style approach is not only ineffective, but also harmful to those who are disproportionately affected by gun violence, I am hopeful that we’ll start investing in the things we know reduce violence as a whole: Economic stability, health care, and education.”—Cicely Thrasher, Moms Demand Action activist
