The Kentucky Chapters of Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action are very active in gun violence prevention.
Cathy Hobart with Moms Demand Action shared her response to the I-75 shooting that took place Saturday in Laurel County.
“We deserve better, we deserve safe communities free from gun violence,” Hobart noted.
Students Demand Action Volunteer Leader Emma Vonder Haar shared her reaction, as well, speaking from Georgetown University, where she’s a junior at the school located in Washington, D.C.
“Not a day can go by in this country with this uniquely, American problem,” Vonder Haar said.
Vonder Haar keeps an eye on the problem daily, putting it in perspective as one of the young activists committed to ending gun violence in America.
“Last week there was the shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia, then Saturday there’s the shooting in London, Kentucky and between those shootings there was still the every day violence that kills over 120 Americans every single day,” Vonder Haar added.
