MESSAGE FROM UNITED STATES SENATOR MICHAEL D. BROWN

In 2022, there have already been more than 200 mass shootings across the United States — including in Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, New York.

What motivates these shooters? What can we do to stop them? What can be done to get the guns out of the hands of people who are mentally ill? Why is violence growing in America and how can we deal with it as a society?

Marília and I will discuss with Dr. Miller-Idriss these important issues that are fanning the flames of hate in America.
