Meet Caitlin McEuth-Damos, the vibrant host of the podcast 'How Can I Help,' who firmly believes that if you've got a platform, you've got the ability to change the world. Join our conversation as Caitlin passionately shares her journey into advocacy and activism, all sparked by a keen desire to tackle the issue of gun violence. She highlights the importance of responsible gun laws and dives into the mixed responses she's received. Yet, Caitlin bravely stands tall, believing that it's her duty to contribute positively to the world.
Ever thought about the potent power that entertainment wields for social change? Well, we dissect that very topic in this episode. We chat about how Hollywood can contribute, shedding light on important issues like seatbelt safety, taxation, and responsible gun laws, and we touch on how the White House has even entered the conversation. With the ability to normalize positive behaviors and ignite significant discussions, we explore how entertainment is a formidable tool for change.
Lastly, we turn our attention to the burgeoning role of mothers in the gun violence prevention movement. Hear about the transformation from passive participants to more active roles in politics, and how language has become a key instrument in bridging diverse viewpoints. Caitlin emphasizes that while victims and survivors of gun violence often spearhead this fight, it's critical that those of us who haven't been directly affected step up to prevent further tragedies. So, let's get involved, get passionate, and start making change.
