Effort continues administration’s work to prevent mass shootings and homicides that primarily affect Black and Latino communities
The Biden administration has announced the nation’s first federal Office of Gun Violence Prevention. In a statement released Thursday, the White House said the office will be overseen by Kamala Harris’s office, directed by Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden gun policy adviser, and deputy-directed by Greg Jackson and Rob Wilcox, who have led national prevention efforts through the Community Justice Action Fund and Everytown for Gun Safety respectively.
The creation of this office is a continuation of the administration’s work on preventing high-profile mass shootings and local homicides that primarily affect lower-income Black and Latino communities.
“In the absence of that sorely-needed action, the Office of Gun Violence Prevention along with the rest of my Administration will continue to do everything it can to combat the epidemic of gun violence that is tearing our families, our communities, and our country apart,” Biden said in the announcement.
Definitely not the least bit racist to dismiss someone with a proven legal career as a token.
Now, if you want to say her legal career is a liability and not the strength the boomer liberals think it is, say that instead.
You should look into her legal career, it’s not pretty. Also, she got less than 1% of the democrats support, and dropped out before the first debate. Pretty much nobody wanted her but now she’s VP. She has a pretty shady past when it comes to how she got into some of her positions. - I mean you could say any of this instead.
It’s the career part that makes me dislike her
Same. Her stated policies after moving to representative office however are just standard liberal positions, addressing symptoms and never, ever, threatening the status quo.
Which is better than the possible alternative, but not enough to win against a Republican populist, given the proven sexism and racism of at least a strong minority of the American electorate.
