Opinion: It s time to really do something about gun violence
Jessica E. Miranda
In the past 12 years, there have been 12 mass shootings in Ohio. Because of those atrocities, 61 people have died and 21 have been wounded. In August 2019, our neighbors in Dayton gathered in the wake of one of those mass shootings crying out: Do something!
Together with Sen. Cecil Thomas, we are offering our colleagues in the Statehouse the opportunity to take a first step. We have officially founded Ohio’s first-ever bicameral Gun Violence Prevention Caucus.
Inspired by Students for Gun Legislation Ohio, we are now offering a platform for lawmakers, policy experts, activists and everyday citizens to discuss and advocate for legislation that will keep our kids and communities safe and ultimately save lives.
