So many stories in the news recently focus on a never ending litany of reports of violence. Racist violence against our neighbors, the death of Black men and women at the hands of those who we trust to protect us, and regularly occurring gun shots and deaths in the inner city raised to headlines only when they are experienced in suburban malls. Is this another recent consequence of COVID or are there deeper issues to address? Our panelist will discuss what they are doing to address violence in order to make a real change for a safer community for everyone.
The live forum, streamed free on the club s YouTube page starting at noon, will feature:
Elizabeth Brown, the president pro tempore of Columbus City Council
Miguel ‘Geno’ Tucker, the founder and CEO of Remember Us Urban Scouts
Yahaira Rose, Director, Dominican Sisters of Peace Martin de Porres Center
Elizabeth Gill, Lead Juvenile Judge, Franklin County Court of Common Pleas
Mike Thompson of WOSU Public Media will moderate the conversation.
