INTERVIEW: In light of the recent tragedy and mass shooting in Uvalde Texas that took place earlier this week, we’re talking to the kids. The students who across the country participated in school walkouts and are taking a stance on the current climate of gun reform in the United States. As you’ll hear there’s a lot of talk around mental health, but more-so the sheer access we have to firearms in this country. Simply put, in America a gun has more rights than a woman’s body. This begs the question, what can we do on a local level to instill change? In this series I’m joined by local student protestors along with Erica Vilardi-Espinosa — a candidate for the local Los Angeles School Board (specifically LAUSD School Board District 2). She shares with Bedside her thoughts on how we can begin to better instill systems that support the wellbeing and safety of students and educators alike.
