On Sunday, August 28, a man entered a Safeway store in Bend, Oregon, with an assault rifle and a shotgun. He killed two elderly men and shot at least two others before shooting himself.

On Wednesday, August 31, KPOV Youth Radio Hour host Juniper Rook talked about the tragic shooting, its impact on her, other local young people, and our entire community. Juniper openly and courageously expressed her frustration, and that of other youth, that the adults in our world have not done anywhere near enough to prevent mass shootings. Juniper also offers guidance on what we can do.

You will hear astonishing brilliance from this 16-year old student/athlete/activist.

You will hear the fiery spirit that animates powerful young activists. She is the future of positive change in our world. Listen.

(The old guy in the conversation is KPOV Tuesday Point host and Station Manager Bruce Morris.)
