About this episode
During this school year alone, East High School has been the site of swattings, violent threats, and multiple shootings — some ending in death . The students have led walkouts and protests at the Capitol, forcing lawmakers to confront the issue of gun violence face-to-face. Clara and Gracie Taub are East High sophomores and members of their school’s chapter of Students Demand Action. After a recent demonstration at the Capitol , they sat down with host Bree Davies to talk about what it’s like to be at East High right now, as well as their efforts to end gun violence in schools and across the country. The tweet discussed in this episode came from Colorado State Senator Larry Liston.
