Fifteen Minutes of Feminism—Back to School and Back to Congress: What’s on the Agenda? Rep. Hilary Scholten: Congresswoman Hillary J. Scholten serves Michigan’s Third Congressional District. She began her career as a social worker, working with people affected by issues of housing and homelessness, and she is the first woman and mother ever to represent Michigan’s Third District in Congress.
And in this episode, I’m so delighted to be joined by Representative Hillary Scholten. It’s as we are back to school, and with matters of gun safety and policies that benefit mothers and families that are really on our minds. These are the kinds of things that matter, at home, in schools, in Congress and our nation, and as we are gearing up for the 2024 elections, these are major issues this election season.
Gun violence is still an everyday reality for so many students, because the trauma of gun violence in schools is not only just the incident, but the reverberating impact, the mental health impact, the trauma that so many other students feel, because they know it’s a reality. You know, I’ll never forget, after the Uvalde shooting, I had a fourth grader, and we made the choice to talk to the kids about it. You know, we don’t always insert national trauma into our everyday conversation.
Here’s what you’ve been quoted as saying. In the past three years, there have been at least 75 fatal shootings in Grand Rapids, and 32% of people live hear a shooting in the city of Grand Rapids, and you’ve said that that is too many, and my goodness, isn’t it? Too many have experienced the horror of gun violence even if they, themselves, were not on the other end of the firearm.
