e must elect people who are committed to moving this nation toward a more perfect union,” I wrote last week. “Whether we are protecting Black lives or the lives of children in elementary classrooms or those in a gay bar, at an outdoor concert, in church, or shopping for groceries, the only way to begin to end [gun] violence is to elect those who are willing and committed to change, to put[ting] an end to white supremacy and a gun culture that has spiraled out of control.”

When I wrote these words I did not imagine, though I could have surmised, that a mass killing of children was destined to happen again in this country.

But, never in my wildest dreams, did I think within a day of publishing Keeping it Real: Has Hatred, Guns, Unbridled Racism Left Us Numb to Reality and too Paralyzed to Act, 19 elementary school children and two teachers would be massacred in another mass shooting.

The slaughtering of innocents and the devastation to a community has once again broken our collective hearts.

I say, “should have surmised”, because gun violence at schools has continued to escalate since the massacre at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999 which occurred within five short months of the November 30, 1998 expiration of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention or Brady Act. The Brady Act had mandated federal background checks before a person could purchase a firearm in the U.S. and it also imposed a five-day waiting period on firearm purchases. I am not saying the expiration of the Brady Act caused the Columbine killings of 15 people and the injury to 21 others, but I do believe it potentially

research project is widely inclusive as the database documents every instance a gun is brandished, is fired, or a bullet hits school property for any reason, regardless of the number of victims, time, or day of the week. The data speaks for itself.

How Music Education Benefits Early Childhood Mental Health & Learning

hen children incorporate music education into their lives, they are more likely to reap benefits that will last a lifetime.

Music is beneficial to children’s’ self-esteem because it gives them the confidence and helps to develop their self-perception. Music learning disciplines their attitudes towards the process of learning. It allows self-expression and free thinking, two things that lead to individual strength development.

Children’s engagement in musical activities develops several aspects of their identities in the relation to the family and the school environment, and contributes to their physical, cognitive, social, emotional and affective development.

Being involved in music can benefit early stages of childhood mental health. Throughout my years as an educator, I’ve had the opportunity to witness hyperactivity come to ease because our mood-boosting tunes increase their dopamine levels. I witness their joyous expressions as their motivation to learn increases. This release of dopamine allows them to shift their energy, focus, and attention onto something so valuable.

4 VOICE | JUNE 2, 2022 | theievoice.com

Music requires full concentration by engaging the individual’s brain. In a 2020 study, researchers found that active engagement in musical activities has beneficial effects on quality of life and psychosocial well-being by provoking positive emotions and cognitive social development. Growing evidence indicates that music education programs promoted psychological well-being, social inclusion and cognitive development in infants, school-aged children and youth.

Storytelling and musical interpretation Children’s music programs use storytelling as a form of musical interpretation. This musical method is a great way to develop and build a child’s cognitive wellness. Singing familiar songs with your child, while also adding your own verses can encourage your child to unleash their creativity and improve memory. In that moment, they are free to think and create their own sense of identity through this art form.

The goal is to have them release energy while also tapping into talents that are lying dormant

New Partnership Forged to Diversify and Grow California’s Nursing Workforce

The partnership will help historically Black medical school expand capacity to train more nurses

“

ven prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we predicted a nursing shortage due to the retiring nursing workforce and the care needs of our aging population,” said Kathy Sanford, D.B.A., R.N., Chief Nursing Officer at CommonSpirit.

“Nursing schools simply don’t have the capacity to train nurses fast enough to replace those leaving the profession. As one of the nation’s largest employers of nurses, we knew we needed to be part of the solution.”

In 2020, a report published by the California State Auditor noted the Board of Registered Nursing had failed to use sufficient information when considering enrollment decisions for new and existing nursing programs.

The California State Audit Report was followed in 2021 by an American Association of Colleges of Nursing study which found, although interest in nursing programs is strong, 80,521 qualified applications were not accepted at schools of nursing due primarily to a shortage of clinical sites, faculty, and resource constraints.

A way forward— expanding access to education in the field of nursing One of the nation’s four historically Black medical schools, Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU), and CommonSpirit Health, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health systems and parent company of Dignity Health California Hospital, are responding to the national nursing shortage through a new partnership that will grow and diversify the nursing workforce.

The new partnership will expand access to quality education and training by adding faculty and resources that help CDU, one of the nation’s leading educators of Black and other underrepresented minority nurses, grow its enrollment.

“In addition to clinical excellence, our students are focused on social justice and health equity for underserved populations in our surrounding communities in South Los Angeles and around the world who are affected by health disparities,” said David M. Carlisle, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer at CDU. “Expanding our program

helps increase their impact and the likelihood that diverse patients have access to a provider who looks like them.”

Doctors and nurses in America are overwhelmingly white, so many patients may be unable to select a physician of the same race or ethnicity but when people have a choice, they are likely to choose a doctor of the same race or ethnicity.

Studies show that having access to a healthcare professional with shared lived experience helps improve trust and outcomes, yet only 22.2% of Black adults reported being of the same race as their health care provider compared to 73.8% of white adults.

“Professors who look like us.”

The same theory holds true in many cases as it relates to students pursuing medical careers.

Black Voice News Recognized in Six Categories by California Journalism Awards for 2021 Reporting

S.E. Williams | Executive Editor

T

he California News Publishers Association (CNPA) has completed presentation of the 2021 California Journalism Awards.

This year once again the competition was intense as CNPA received and assessed no less than 2,800 entries from print, digital and campus publications.

Winners were announced via Twitter throughout the week beginning Monday May 23, and by Friday, May 27, the Black Voice News editorial team had received a total of “six” awards as follows: Black Voice News reporter and Report for America corps member Breanna Reeves received two awards for her well written and researched report, “The Barren Mile: Food Apartheid and San Bernardino Residents’ Quest for Fresh, Healthy Food as COVID-19 Persists”. It tells the story of the struggle for fresh, healthy food in San Bernardino County not only during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also of those residing in food deserts who live this reality on an ongoing basis both before and since the worst days of the coronavirus.

Reeves’ recognition in relation to this story included a “First Place” award for “In-Depth” reporting, and equally as exciting, a “Second Place” honor in the “Open, In-Depth” reporting category where her article was measured not only against submissions from weekly publications but also against publications in larger distribution categories including dailies with distributions over 50,000.

Reeves was also awarded “Second Place” for “Writing Excellence” for her penetrating report, Black and Missing: Shining a Light. The report brings attention to the tens of thousands of missing Black people across the country typically overlooked by mainstream media.

In the category of “Front Page Layout and Design Cover Illustration” Black Voice News Creative Director Chris Allen was awarded “Second Place” for a print cover he created to highlight another report by Reeves, “Civil Rights Institute of Inland Southern California to Provide Inclusive Community Space, Affordable Housing.” Judges described the cover as striking and engaging for a subject that is “challenging to visualize”.

Black Voice News rounded out the awards with two “Third Place” nods from CNPA beginning with a 3rd Place award for Investigative Reporting for the article, Trapped at the Crossroads Between Domestic Violence and Homelessness by Executive Editor S. E. Williams which highlights the issues faced by domestic violence survivors who also become homeless as a result–a situation that worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. Williams was also awarded “Third Place” for her weekly column Keeping it Real on, Mental Illness Runs in My Family which describes the ongoing challenges faced by families who deal with mental illness across generations.

How Music Education, continued from page 4

Music education from independent programs can be supplemented for marginalized children to provide a foundational, positive outlet that dissuades them from veering off course. (source: OMNI FIRM, LLC)

within their hearts.

Over the years, musical education has become more of a luxury although it should remain a requirement instead. Art programs across the country continue to lack funding to sustain them. As a result, music programs are eliminated without a second thought.

Musical programs not only lack funding, but they are also overlooked while other things are prioritized. Some schools fail to see the value and enrichment these programs have been proven to provide for children.

According to The National Assessment of Educational Programs in the Arts, student exposure to the arts education in schools has steadily declined since 1997. It is not uncommon today to see the elimination of elementary instrumental programs, district-wide string orchestra programs, grade-level choruses, and theory classes.

A pathway to happier, healthier lives Parent and teachers become the solution, as they can incorporate music engagement through extracurricular programs. Music education from independent programs can be supplemented for marginalized children to provide a foundational, positive outlet that dissuades them from veering off course.

Because their schools often lack funding, music simply becomes another tool that enhances language and learning skills. Having access to art and cultural resources can improve key aspects of social well-being of kids in disadvantaged neighborhoods.

Children need self-esteem to excel in all subjects, skills for school readiness, including intellectual, social- emotional, motor language, and overall literacy. Giving children the gift of a music education can be the doorway to happier, healthier kids.

Medi-Cal Makeover: Postcard From the Inland Empire

Taco Bowls and Chicken Curry: Medi-Cal Delivers Ready Meals in Grand Health Care Experiment California has embarked on an ambitious five-year initiative to improve the health of its sickest Medicaid patients by introducing nontraditional services. In the Inland Empire, where many residents have diabetes, one health plan is diving into the experiment by delivering healthy, prepared meals to those lucky enough to get them.

Heidi de Marco and Angela Hart | KHN very Friday, Frances De Los Santos waits for a shipment of healthy, prepared meals to land on her front porch at the edge of the Mojave Desert. From the box, the 80-year-old retired property manager with stage 4 chronic kidney disease unpacks frozen food trays that she can heat in the microwave. Her favorite is sweet-and-sour chicken.

In the three months since she began eating the customized meals, De Los Santos has learned to manage her diabetes by maintaining a healthy blood sugar level.

Two hours to the south, in Indio, Vidal Fonseca gets ready for his third dialysis appointment of the week. He, too, battles kidney disease and diabetes. The 54-year-old former farmworker was released from the hospital in November with an order to follow a strict diet, but he makes a mess in the kitchen and struggles to get his glucose under control. He doesn’t receive the prepared meals.

Here in California’s vast Inland Empire, where more than half of adults have diabetes or are at risk of developing diabetes, one health plan is delivering medically tailored meals to select patients. In bringing food straight to their door for a few months, state officials hope patients will develop healthier eating habits long after the shipments stop. It’s all part of a grand state experiment to improve the health of some of its sickest and costliest patients.

What is CalAIM? California’s five-year initiative, known as CalAIM, will test whether Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom can slow public spending on MediCal, the state’s Medicaid program for people with low incomes, which skyrocketed to $124 billion this fiscal year, up nearly threefold from a decade ago. Medi-Cal managed-care insurers will try to keep people out of expensive health care institutions by delivering social services, such as helping patients find housing, removing toxic mold from their homes, and delivering medically tailored food.

CalAIM, which is expected to cost $8.7 billion, is unconventional because it is being carried out primarily by health plans, not county social service departments. It will serve only a sliver of the 14.5 million Californians enrolled in Medi-Cal. And the state is still developing a way to track health outcomes, meaning nobody knows yet whether it will save money.

“This is a new program, and often with new programs, you're building the plane as you're flying it,” said Shelly LaMaster, director of integrated care at Inland Empire Health Plan.

Food items and menus delivered as part of a new Medi-Cal program vary based on a patient’s condition, ranging from microwavable meals to grocery boxes with fresh fruits and vegetables, or whole-grain bread, pasta, and rice. (Heidi de Marco/KHN)

Meal and Food Box Deliveries The health plan is one of two Medi-Cal managed-care insurers serving San Bernardino and Riverside counties and has about 1.5 million enrollees.

Inland Empire Health Plan says about 11,000 of its enrollees will be eligible for deliveries of meals and food boxes. The average meal benefit has a value of $1,596 and lasts three months, though health insurers can choose to extend food deliveries.

Because plans decide which enrollees receive services, many worthy patients — even those enrolled in the same plan or who live in the same county — are being left out. In the Inland Empire, some patients have started receiving food while others are still getting enrolled. So far, 40% of the recipients are Hispanic, 35% are white, and 18% are Black, which tracks with the region’s demographics. (Hispanics can be of any race or combination of races.)

Initial deliveries for most participants will be frozen meals, varying from taco bowls to chicken curry. Later, they may receive boxes filled with fresh fruits, vegetables, whole-grain bread, pasta, and rice so they can prepare their own meals.

De Los Santos is among the lucky 720 enrollees who have been approved for the benefit since January. Participants must be referred to the program, but referrals can come from doctors, community groups, and family members — Medi-Cal enrollees can even refer themselves.

De Los Santos’ case manager identified her need after conducting an assessment. Then a dietitian screened her for her food preferences and continued on page 13

On the 2nd Anniversary of George Floyd’s Murder...

Learn what’s changed since Riverside and San Bernard S.E. Williams | Executive Editor

O

ver two years ago the world seemed to come to a complete stop, in more ways than one. The global announcement of the COVID-19 pandemic forced countries to close their borders and forever changed the world.

In the midst of the pandemic there was also an ongoing struggle for liberation on behalf of Black Americans who are three times more likely than white Americans to be killed by the police, according to a Harvard study.

On May 25, 2020 everyone became a witness to the statistic as then 17-year-old Darnella Frazier recorded the murder of George Floyd as Derek Chauvin, a police officer, kneeled on Floyd’s neck, blocking his airway and effectively killing him. As the viral video circulated across the internet, for exactly 9 minutes and 29 seconds, the world stood still — again.

Ignited by a history of police brutality, institutional racism and injustice, like in the case of Breonna Taylor who was fatally shot by Louisville police officers while she was sleeping, demonstrators crowded the streets during the summer of 2020 to demand justice.

Following national protests, many local jurisdictions began to declare racism as a public health crisis as the COVID-19 pandemic revealed blatant disparities among those who were dying from COVID and those who had access to vaccines and treatments. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that African Americans, Hispanic/ Latinos and American Indians experienced higher rates of COVID-19-related hospitalizations and death compared to white populations.

As a result of this information, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors and Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted to declare racism a public health crisis on June 23 2020 and August 4, 2020, respectively.

“In the spirit of civil rights giant, Congressman John Lewis, I am proud of today’s historical vote within Riverside County to advance social justice, equity and community empowerment,” said Riverside County Board Chair and Fourth

District Supervisor V. Manuel Perez in the initial press release. “Today, we passed two major efforts to fight racism and have listening sessions to look at how we fund and re-fund safety net services and meet the social needs of our communities.”

Today marks two years since George Floyd was murdered. Following the protests by demonstrators and declarations made by government leaders across the Inland Empire, what progress has been made to address racism as a public health crisis in these communities?

Riverside County In June 2020, the NAACP Riverside chapter and other community organizations called on the Board of Supervisors to declare racism a public health crisis and create a countywide African American Task Force to “root out systemic racism in fear of receiving racist backlash.” During the June 23 board meeting,

10 VOICE | JUNE 2, 2022 | theievoice.com

NAACP Chair Corey Jackson made the request known during the public comment portion of the meeting.

On August 4, 2020, the board unanimously voted, 5-0, to declare racism as a public health crisis. With this acknowledgement, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors set goals that included diversifying the county’s workforce, implementing solutions to eliminate systemic inequality in external services and enhancing public education.

Riverside County Board Supervisor Karen Spiegel, of the Second District, explained that recognizing racism as a public health crisis “woke people up” in Riverside. Spiegel said that the county’s focus was specifically on racism as a public issue which led to the development of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force.

dino Counties declared “Racism a Public Health Crisis” The task force made recommendations after gathering knowledge about the government system and practices of the county’s workforce.

One key recommendation has led to the recruitment of a DEI officer who “establishes, supports, leads, and manages efforts to identify and eliminate structural and systemic bias in those areas where the County has control or influence,” according to the job listing.

Additionally, the board has applied for grants of $150 million to support health equity issues.

With this funding, the county board has utilized the Healthy Places Index, a platform that maps data on social conditions that impact health.

“This really helps us to identify the historically underserved folks and the underresourced. And we found that during COVID, those communities, disadvantaged communities did really have [significantly] less resources available,” Spiegel said.

The County also launched listening sessions with the community to learn about what resources residents needed. During one of the listening sessions, resident Avalon Edwards asked the board to consider how their budget fails to fund measures for more social safety nets, insisting that Riverside County has the funds to “meaningfully reinvest in our community.”

Supervisor Jeff Hewitt of the Fifth District explained that the listening sessions were very instrumental because he learned that with all the services the county has available, those services were not easily accessed by certain members of the community.

“And then one of the key findings also is that we have found that African Americans don’t feel connected to the county system,” Hewitt said.

“And that’s why [it was] so important that we got out there and we really, really pushed — you’re not going to get your foot in the door unless you have this first step, step-on. And that’s what we’re trying to provide.”

As of now, the board is waiting to fulfill the DEI officer position and plans to review and update policies throughout the department. The board will also be reviewing how the county’s general fund can support health and welfare

services.

San Bernardino County On June 23, 2020, San Bernardino County’s resolution affirming racism as a public health crisis acknowledged: “WHEREAS, racism results in the structuring of opportunity and assigning of value based solely on skin color and other physical characteristics, which creates unfair disadvantages to some individuals and communities and unfair advantages to other individuals and communities, therefore preventing societies as a whole from achieving full potential.”

Following this declaration, the county developed the Equity Element Group, which is made up of influential Black community leaders who make recommendations to the board that will close the gaps in services and opportunities for Black residents in the community.

The Equity Element Group includes members of local nonprofit organizations, community organizations and businesses such as Dina Walker of the BLU Educational Foundation, Pastor Samuel Casey of the Churches Organized for Prophetic Engagement (COPE) and Chache Wright, president of the San Bernardino National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

Wright explained that the efforts have been slow moving because the county wanted to first emphasize the role and responsibilities of

the county to the equity group before getting started with addressing the issues. While Wright understood the county’s intent, he wasn’t particularly happy about it.

The equity group is primarily focused on business development and education. By partnering with organizations in the community who have always been involved in community building, the equity group hopes this will allow community members to give feedback on the issues that need to be addressed.

In regard to tangible actions that have been taken to address racism as a public health crisis in the county, Wright stated that actual steps have yet to be made. He recognizes that as part of the collective, in order to make strides, they must be a little more aggressive and deliberate about what needs to be implemented, Wright explained.

In a statement to Black Voice News, the county shared that the equity group, county schools and county staff collaborated under the guidance of Theodore Miller and Hyma Menath to develop and achieve “substantive goals.”

According to the county, “through this community driven process we will eventually see the policy and program changes that will institutionalize the equity the Board of Supervisors has pledged to achieve.”

The county’s focus on equity extended to public health (COVID-19 outreach), public continued on page 12

safety (focusing on equity in law enforcement) and civic engagement (increasing voting efforts), as noted in the county’s statement. During the pandemic, the county partnered with local Black churches to expand COVID-19 testing and vaccine resources in the community.

Wright stated that this work won’t and shouldn’t be accomplished overnight. “It definitely will take some steps. And we implore the community to be active in this role by interacting with us and reaching out to us, and also holding us accountable. I wouldn't have stepped forward to address this without taking on that notion of understanding and responsibility.”

San Bernardino County Perspective As the county continues to address equity in the community, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors is expected to recognize Juneteenth (June 19) as an official county holiday in an effort to encourage “all county residents to take time on that day to reflect upon how each of us can practice and promote equity for all people and celebrate that race, ethnicity, heritage and/or belief must never stand in the way of freedom.”

In declaring Juneteenth as a county holiday and developing an equity task force, the county acknowledged that these tasks are “lowhanging fruit initiatives” that can be quickly

implemented.

More work to be done As San Bernardino and Riverside Counties continue to address inequality in their communities, other community leaders recognize that more progress needs to be made which will only happen when there is a consensus on what is most beneficial for the community.

Che Wright, vice president of the San Bernardino NAACP chapter, explained that there is a lot of bureaucracy that impacts the goals of the community, further noting that it is important to diversify the people who are at the table rather than relying on popular or well-known organizations to represent the community.

According to Che Wright there are several aspects that need to be addressed as it relates to benefiting the community in the long-term and promoting equity, which include expanding educational resources, promoting financial literacy and supporting small businesses, adding she hasn’t been actively attending the group meetings due to frustration about the lack of consensus on what’s best for the community.

Che Wright stated that the county will continue to do the bare minimum until “we all get on the same page about what realistically our community needs.”

health concerns to develop a nutrition plan.

Her first box of nutritionally tailored meals arrived in February from Mom’s Meals, one of two prepared-meal companies contracted by the Inland Empire Health Plan. Each week she receives convenient, microwave-ready meals and an information sheet with the macronutrient breakdown of each dish.

“I’m on an eating schedule now,” she said. “I’m eating lots of meats and salads and vegetables, like broccoli and cauliflower, that are good for me.”

Meanwhile, Fonseca, also an Inland Empire Health Plan enrollee, relies on his wife and daughter to figure out how to get his diabetes under control. After he was diagnosed in November, they scrambled to learn how to cook for him by looking up recipes online.

“Before he was diagnosed with renal disease, he was eating a diet high in iron-rich foods that are typical for us to eat, like lentils and beans, but not good for kidney disease,” said his 29-year-old daughter, Maria Cruz.

“We were giving him poison.”

Fonseca said he had heard about food banks but not home-delivered meals. “The menu for someone in my condition with both renal failure and diabetes is very limited and specific,” he said in Spanish. “Talking to a nutritionist and receiving meals specifically made for me for free would be a huge help.” continued on page 18

Medi-Cal Makeover, continued from page 13

Insurers in the Driver’s Seat But even though his conditions would qualify him for meal delivery, it’s up to the insurer to enroll him.

Participating in the program would alleviate the guesswork for his wife and daughter.

Fonseca’s wife, Eufracia Constantino, still works in the fields. She wakes up at 4:30 a.m. to cook his breakfast every morning before she leaves for work. His daughter prepares lunch for him, which typically consists of chicken or fish, stirfried vegetables, and hard-boiled eggs.

“I would usually be driving trucks with a burrito in one hand and the steering wheel in the other,” said Fonseca, who was an agricultural truck driver.

De Los Santos, who up until recently was the family breadwinner, has had to adjust to becoming a patient. Two months ago, her husband, Fermin Silva, became her state-funded paid caregiver and the couple struggles to pay rent and utilities. To save money, they will move into a two-bedroom mobile home next month.

“Now I don’t have to worry about buying my meals,” she said. “I would say I’ve saved about $150 a month.”

While she saves money, Fonseca spends an extra $100 a week to buy the healthy food his wife and daughter prepare for him.

“We’ve had to stretch my wife’s paycheck,” Fonseca said. “We don’t fill the grocery cart up like before.”

The California Department of Health Care Services, which runs Medi-Cal, hopes the patients who receive medically tailored meals will tap the health system less often. The goal is to make people healthier by empowering them to adopt better eating habits and learn to sustain a good diet. Although some recipients may have irreversible conditions, such as congestive heart failure or severe diabetes, officials still see opportunities to reduce hospital admissions and emergency room visits.

Studies have shown that providing meal delivery services helps reduce health care costs.

State officials note that food benefits will be expanded over time and that there’s no price cap on the initiative.

But the health agency could not provide data on how many Medi-Cal patients are eligible for

The state plans to gauge the cost-effectiveness of these social services as the program expands, according to agency spokesperson Anthony Cava.

Measuring Impact Inland Empire Health Plan officials say it could be challenging to identify the impact of an individual benefit since many members receive multiple services. And it takes time to realize health consequences.

He asked his nurse about getting medically tailored meals.

“He has to be healthy to qualify to get on a kidney transplant waiting list,” said his daughter.

“That’s our hope.”

Child-related Gun Violence

heels of the hate inspired massacre in Buffalo, NY just a week earlier that left 10 Black people dead and another three people injured.

In a broader sense, the grievous loss resulting from both incidents reverberates through the Black community because we, more than others, understand the senselessness of it all as “deaths by guns” is an ever present tragedy in our communities to such an extent that it has almost become the background music of our lives.

Black Americans are disproportionately impacted by gun violence. We experience 10 times the number of gun homicides, 18 times the number of gun assault injuries, and nearly 3 times the fatal shootings by police compared to white Americans.

According to the nonprofit Everytown for Gun Safety.

What changed in 2018 For the first time in history beginning in 2018, the leading cause of death for all children and teens between the ages of 1 and 18, was gun violence–a trend that has continued to today and for every child or teen shot and killed, another five suffered non-fatal gunshot wounds.

As devastating as this is, the impact of gun violence on Black children is even more catastrophic. For example, in 2019 although Black children and teens were only 14 percent of all children and teens in the country, they accounted for 43%t of child and teen gun deaths and were four times more likely to be killed with guns than their white peers. In addition, while boys accounted for 86% of children and youth who died from gunfire in 2019, Black boys were 18 times more likely to be killed in gun homicides than white boys.

More guns do not equal more safety More guns do not equal more safety. If it did, our babies would not be dying from such violent, gun related

deaths in such great numbers. Numbers tell the story.

Americans own 393.3 million weapons and yet there are only 330 billion people in this country and we are less safe from the ravages of gun violence than ever before.

Americans strange obsession with guns and the Second Amendment coupled with corporate greed and political expediency, has spurred gun manufacturers to produce more and more weapons. Collectively gun manufacturers produced a minimum of 11 million more guns in 2020.

A good guy with a gun Despite the dangers and deaths, the gross production and accumulation of weapons in America has wrought, rather than establishing controls, regulations and other forms of sensible gun control, political leaders in many instances are making it easier to access and carry weapons while continuing to pander, posture and collect contributions from gun manufactures and enjoy benefits offered by their lobbyists while propagating the myth that, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun” as a way of advocating for more Americans to buy even more weapons.

We witnessed the fallacy of this argument in Buffalo, NY and again in Uvalde, Texas where in one instance Buffalo, the (retired police officer) working as a security guard was out gunned, and in Uvalde, where police were apparently afraid to confront the gunman.

When you cast your ballot this year whether you are electing a candidate for local, state or federal office remember the children, think about the guns controlling our lives, and then vote to make a difference to place the lives of our children first in a nation that has lost its moral compass on the issue of guns.

Of course, this is just my opinion. I’m keeping it real.

C O M M U N I T Y S E R V I C E

Why we must vote Even if all the gun manufacturers stopped producing and selling weapons today, because there are so many guns in this nation, it is going to take a more intentional effort to stop the violence and save lives. That effort begins with who we elect that are willing to pass sensible gun control laws.
