On average, 96 lives are lost everyday in the United States due to gun violence. By the time you’ve finished listening to this podcast episode, an average of 2 precious lives were ended. What can we do when the health of the public conflicts with the interests of the rich and powerful? In this episode we bring you stories about public health researchers and policy makers who are on the front lines of preventing gun violence, in communities, states, and hopefully, one day, our country.

Thank you to our guests for this episode, Ted Alcorn and Renee Hopkins.
