This weekend, the epidemic of gun related violence, particularly mass shooting in schools, has once again focused our nation on the issue of gun control. Some 200,000 people converged on Washington DC for the “March for Our Lives.” 800-plus sibling marches took place in cities around the world, including here in Baltimore. Students of all ages and races took to the podium Saturday with impassioned appeals to elected officials to act on the issue of gun control, and for the wider citizenry to assert their power at the ballot box this 13 year-old Asiane Phillips joins us in Studio A, this afternoon. She’s a 7th grader at Baltimore’s Hampstead Hill Academy. She is a student activist and organizer, who organized a walkout at her school in response to gun violence. She’s created a list of demands regarding legislation and school policy, and is engaging in dialogue with school administrators and community leaders.
