  • Summary

  • There have already been more than 300 mass shootings this year in the United States. On May 24 this year, the world was shocked by a mass shooting in Uvalde in Texas. It left 19 children and two teachers dead. Since then, there have been over a hundred additional mass shootings.


    It is in an “epidemic of gun violence”, according to Texan campaigner Ariel Hobbs. At just 24, Ariel is a veteran organiser. She’s the programme coordinator at March for Our Lives, the grass roots, youth led organisation that has organised mass protest against gun violence across the USA.


    She joins us on BetterPod this week to talk about the trauma experienced by her generation – and how they’re fighting back.


    BetterPod is brought to you by The Big Issue’s Future Generations team. Through the Future Generations team, we offer a platform for exciting young journalists from underrepresented backgrounds to address the biggest issues facing us today.
