75: Allison Shaw on the Realities of Living After Gun Violence

Gun violence exacts an enormous toll on Americans, claiming tens of thousands of lives each year. Firearms are involved in 100 deaths a day, and 100,000 Americans are shot and injured each year, often with life-altering consequences. To discuss the trauma of suffering and living with a gunshot wound and the activism that can spring from such an injury, host JJ is joined once again by Christian Heyne, Vice President of Policy at Brady, and Allison Shaw — activist, producer, and owner and CEO of Manic Monkee, a Los Angeles brand development and consulting firm — who, like Christian, is a survivor of gun violence.
