  • Remembering the victims of the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas
    On this edition of Your Call, we discuss last year's mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. On on May 24, 2022, an 18-year-old shooter murdered 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary.
    A damning report by Texas lawmakers found that nearly 400 police at the scene waited more than an hour to enter the school and failed to "prioritize saving innocent lives over their own safety."
    Several parents are now dedicating their lives to activism, gun control, and creating a safer country for all children.

    On this edition of Your Call, we discuss why eight horses died in the lead up to and since the Kentucky Derby.
    Elizabeth Banicki used to work in the horse racing industry, but left due to its cruelty. She says horses are pushed to exhaustion.
