NeverAgain Rising

Thursday, February 22, 2018, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)

At first the Parkland shooting seemed like it would play out like all the other mass shootings, but the reaction by the students, in the NeverAgain movement, may indicate that this time it's different. The speech by Emma Gonzales was the wake call to the media that it needs to pay attention to this movement.

Just before the shooting, the Porter domestic abuse scandal and the MeToo movement dominated the media. We covered this last week, but some members wanted to stay on this topic to look beyond the politics to the underlying cause. So for the next meeting, we will also look at the common factor in domestic violence and mass shootings, which is male violence.

Here are the videos for the meeting:
